Little Bighorn Battlefield

Our trip today was to the Little Bighorn Battlefield. We got there in time for the ranger talk on the patio. He was a great story teller and spoke for an hour on the battle and the research for the truth since then. He was very knowledgable and stayed after to answer questions.

The hill where Custer died. The memorial on the top is where many of the dead soldiers are buried.

Some of the terrain where the battle was fought.

Even the horses were memorialized.

The locations where the warriors fell are marked with red stone markers like these.

Looking down the hill from the soldiers' memorial at the visitors center and the national cemetery behind it. The small white markers in the foreground are locations where soldiers fell.

The monument itself was inscribed on all sides with the names of the deceased.

Across the road from the soldier's monument is the Indian warriors' monument.

We took the driving tour through the battlefield and stopped to look at the many areas where the battle took place.
