Battle Name: Stony Lake
State: North Dakota
Location: Burleigh County
Campaign: Operations against the Sioux in North Dakota (1863)
Date: July 28, 1863
Commanders: Brig. Gen. Henry Hastings Sibley [US]; Chief Inkpaduta
Principal Forces: District of Minnesota [US]; Santee and Teton Sioux
Est. Casualties Unknown
Description:
Following the Battle of Dead Buffalo Lake, Brig. Gen. Henry Hastings Sibley continued his march after the retreating Sioux until he reached Stony Lake, where his animals' exhaustion compelled him to encamp. On the 28th, the force had started out in pursuit again when Sibley discovered that a large number of Sioux was moving upon him. He ordered the men to make defensive preparations, which many had already accomplished. In the face of enemy, Sibley now resumed his march. The Sioux searched for weak points in the soldiers position. Finding none, the Sioux rode off at great speed, preventing pursuit. The Sioux had hoped to halt Sibley's advance but were unable to do so. Sibley remarked in his report that Stony Lake was "the greatest conflict between our troops and the Indians, so far as the numbers were concerned."
Results: Union victory

I think you mean the Bayeux Tapestry, don't you? It is a document, in tapestry form (that means a kind of embroidery using wool in a long stitch) which tells the history of the Norman conquest of England, which of course, includes the Battle of Hastings. It is usually attributed to William the Conqueror's wife, although many scholars now believe she did not stitch it.
