Now the part about the freighters seems somewhat consistent in that the Bozeman trail crosses both the Big Horn and the Little Horn rivers. I don't think that a steamer would be able to travel up the Little Horn at this time of the year unless there was a late snow runoff from the Bighorn Mts.
And where the Bozeman Trail crosses the Big Horn river is at least 20 more miles southwest (upstream) from the mouth of the Little Horn river.
Not sure, but maybe they headed east of the Bozeman Trail towards Bismarck?
