The setting is Fort Buford in North Dakota after the Civil War and deals with Sitting Bull's surrender.
On the first day Sitting Bull and his group arrived at Fort Buford, all warriors except Sitting Bull surrendered their weapons. The official surrender took place on he following day. Sitting Bull handed his rifle to his son who then surrendered it to the soldiers. Would the soldiers posted there dress/act differently during an informal surrender as opposed to a formal surrender (ex. unbuttoned uniforms vs. buttoned uniforms)? What would be the common practice of the time?
