As we drove into Montana--after a stop at the Sheridan, Wyoming, Wally World for milk and other necessities--we decided to stop at Little Big Horn National Battlefield to visit Custer's Last Stand. Yes, Jennifer, I wanted to play 'Please, Mr. Custer' as we drove into the park.
This is the monument erected in remembrance of the American soldiers that gave their all at The Battle of Little Big Horn. It is said that General Custer lost his life within 6 feet from the center of this monument.
Each marker on the battlefield represents where a soldier fell in battle.
This monument was at the far end of the battlefield where the survivors of the battle fought the Lakotas.
The tour of the battlefield was thought provoking and made for a solemn morning.
After lunch in the RV, we set off for Hardin, Montana and the first Montana information center.
After looking at many brochures and listening to the locals giving information, we moved west to Billings, Montana. Cabela's would be our stop for the night.
