It soon became a stopping place on the long cattle drives from Texas. Miles and this camp was the beginning of Miles City. The cavalry set camp at the mouth of the Tongue River on the Yellowstone River after the 1876 campaign of "rounding up hostile Indians." Their commanding officer was Colonel Nelson A. Once the horse trading and livestock center of the country, Miles City still has weekly livestock auctions and, once a year, puts on the Bucking Horse Sale for rodeo stock buyers and breeders. The Yellowstone and Tongue rivers flow unblemished in long sections. Vast stretches of plains and badlands branch out in all directions. Steeped in Western history, Miles City remains a true Western town.
