History
In the winter of 1911, Mike Daggett and his band were camped at Little High Rock Canyon where they ran low on food and killed some cattle. Laster, Daggett and his band killed a cattleman and three sheepmen who had gone to investigate the missing cattle. Daggett and his band were pursued to Kelley Creek, near Winnemucca where the Battle of Kelley Creek occurred. Daggett and seven of his band were killed along with a posse member. Only four children of the band survived the battle.
