Little Bighorn experience

Just before we the highway left Montana there was the Little Bighorn NM. We took the time to stop and were glad we did. It is well done and the Ranger Talk from a native american woman ranger was superb. She could tell the story and point out the places and it really came to life.

This was the last redoubt for what remained of Custer and his men - his last stand. The stone marker with the black writing is Gen Custer's. For some time they were all buried where they fell but were later moved to various places - most here because this became a National Cemetery for servicemen and women from this. and all, wars. A moving experience (you should come here, Jacob).
