Left Red Lodge, MT this morning, Sept. 18th,, heading to Billings, MT and I-90...the Crow Reservation is outside of Billings and this is where you will find the Little Bighorn National Monument
A Clash Of Cultures,,,
...one of the last armed efforts of the Northern Plains Indians to preserve their ancestral way of life,,on a hot June day in 1876 more than 260 soldiers and attached personnel of the U.S. Army met defeat and death at the hand of approximately 7,000 Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho, including 1,500 to 2,000 warriors,,,led by Sitting Bull they refused to be restricted to their reservation,,,Custer, apparantly underestimating the size and fighting power of the Lakota and Cheyenne forces, divided his regiment into three battalions,,,and well, you know the rest of the story,,,the monument was very well done honoring all who died during the battle, even the horses,,,,
