Little Bighorn

Montana gave us one last treat - right off the highway to eastern Wyoming was the Little Bighorn NM.
We had a super Ranger talk from a native-american woman who could just point to the various landmarks and re-tell the battle.
This steep hill was the 'last stand' and Custer's marker, where he fell and was found, was the one with black writing. All were initially buried here (poorly, the ground is so rocky) but were eventually moved to proper graves. Custer is buried at West Point but most are still here, in the National Cemetery that adjoins the battlefield.
The last resting place for those from all wars since this time right up to present. (Jacob, you need to visit here)
