Some did die from the cold. We were at the original site of an early fort near Valley City ND last summer.
The place was only occupied for a few years before moving it nearer the river. Two of those who died at that short lived fort, were a couple of local indians the army hired to bring the mail to the fort. The sign said they froze to death when caught in storms.
