Last Stand Hill

They shot their own horses to hide behind. The only survivor of "The Last Stand" was a horse named Comanche, ridden by Cpt. Myles Keough.

Little Big Horn, MT: A beautiful morning. We headed off to the Custer Battlefield. Mike planned this well, because today is the actual day of the battle that took place on June 25 in 1876. There were two Indian groups on their ponies that did a mock charge on the hills around the battlefield. And the battlefield is spread over a large area. We drove/walked the route through the battlefield where markers were placed where soldiers and/or Indians fell. This place by the Little Big Horn is pretty much like it was 132 years ago. Pretty impressive. And it hit 88 today! YES!
