On June 25th, 1876, General Custer and 40 of his followers (some civilian) died after racing up this hill. The markers were placed here in 1890 by the army to show where Custer's men had fallen. There are 249 headstones scattered throughout the monument. Tomorrow we are going to take a tour that will be led by an indian.
Looks like it is getting colder. I am sure this was a heart wrenching sight! How neat to have a native person do the tour! Thanks for pics of wild horses, I was riding when I got them, so just took a quick look and really checked them out when I got home. Mosquitoes are not as bad as the first hatch. Hope all is well with you guys and the MP
