Today we made it to Little Big Horn National Battlefield. We explored the Cemetary while we waited for our tour to begin. Call me morbid, but I've always enjoyed wandering through cemetaries. Those buried at Little Big Horn include Native Americans, infants and children, women, and soldiers.
We received a tour from an Apsaalooke (Crow) Native American (the battlefield is on the Crow Reservation). She gave a very detailed account of the battle at Little Big Horn, including troop movements, and all sorts of other interesting information. After the tour, we climbed Last Stand Hill, and saw Custer's marker.
Gator really enjoyed this stop. In fact, he and this battle inspired our trip. I'm so glad that he was asking questions about Custer on the way to school one day!
