In 1870, a group of five American militia men and their guides went exploring the Yellowstone gorge. Native Americans in the area stole all their horses overnight.
The five militias began to chase the perpetrators and followed as the tribe crossed the river near Lower Falls. However, the rafts built by the tribe were not strong enough to traverse strong water currents.
However, most horses can be crossed. The men and women of the tribe rowed restlessly, while the raft began to slowly sink as it headed towards the waterfall.
Legend has it that two eagles were seen flying over the crash site at the same time.
Meanwhile, on this day, some Yellowstone visitors claimed that as they stood near the waterfall, they could hear voices chanting death songs.
