This area memorializes the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry and the Sioux and Cheyenne in one of the Indians last armed efforts to preserve their way of life. Here on June 25 and 26 of 1876, 263 soldiers, including Lt. Col. George A. Custer and attached personnel of the U.S. Army, died fighting several thousand Lakota, and Cheyenne warriors.
The gravestone for Lt. Col. George A. Custer is the one with the black writing on it.

ReplyDeleteI know I make lots of fun of driving through parts of the mid-west, but there are actually some amazingly beautiful sights in between all the other parts:)
