Custer's Last Stand- The Battle of Little Bighorn

 

Last Stand Hill

The monument to the 7th Calvary

Many of Custer's soldiers are buried in this plot of grass

Custer's tombstone was originally here on the hill just below the monument, but he was later moved to Arlington Cemetery

The visitor center has terrific dioramas of the battle scenes.

Custer National Cemetery was established 3 years after the Battle of Little Bighorn.

Like Arlington, it provides a final resting place for many generations of those who faithfully served in the US Armed forces.

Here, Americans of many races and beliefs rest side by side.

The Indian Memorial is just across from the Last Stand Hill.

Such beautiful artwork for the memorial.

The road to another battle sight has many stops along the way 

and you can call the number for a description of that sight 

and all that happened.

It gives you a very good 'on site' description and feel of the happenings.

This is a National Park worthy of visit.

Indeed, it is a sobering reflection of an important part of our history.
