Some Indian hostilities existed on the plains 

 and adjacent to the overland routes to the 

 Pacific coast. This was a source of great 

 annoyance and required the employment of 

 many troops, and added considerably to the 

 expenses of the military department. During 

 the year several Indian councils were held, and 

 large military expeditions were sent against the 

 hostile tribes and bands. 



On the following pages will be found a state- 

 ment or list of battles and skirmishes of the war, 

 in which the loss in killed, wounded, and pris- 

 oners was estimated to be not less than one hun- 

 dred. Those skirmishes of quite small or trifling 

 losses have not been included. The estimates 

 were those most carefully given after the ac- 

 tion occurred, except in more important bat- 

 tles, where the result on the Federal side is 

 official.
