Little Bighorn, Montana

The black stone is where Custer fell

Monument for Custer's men

Monument for the Native Americans

We actually visited Little Bighorn on the 113th anniversary of the last day of the battle. Consequently, there were a lot of events and A LOT of people. It was interesting to read the events from both points of view.

The one thing that sticks with me from the museum at Little Bighorn is that Ulysses S Grant was so proactive as President with regards to converting Native Americans to Christianity and placing them in reservations or exterminating those who did not cooperate. I find this so hypocritical from the man who fought against slavery in the Civil War.
