## Image Caption
Monument erected in 1905 to commemorate the [Battle](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/battle/) of Beecher Island of 1868 known to the [Cheyenne](https://www.worldhistory.org/Cheyenne/) as "The Fight Where [Roman](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Roman/) Nose Was Killed." The image is incorrectly dated to 1899. A wooden monument was erected at the site in 1899, but the stone monument was not funded until 1905.
