On June 25, 1876, in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, the US 7th Cavalry under Brevet Major General George Armstrong Custer was wiped out by Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Custer and several other members of his family perished with him at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, most of them on Last Stand Hill. They included his brother Boston Custer, nephew Harry Armstrong "Autie" Reed, brother Thomas "Tom" Ward Custer, and brother-in-law James "Jimmi" Calhoun.

Been there. Actually more humbling to me than Gettysburg. At Gettysburg soldiers knew what they were getting into, not so at Little Bighorn.

I had much of the same thoughts and feelings when I was at LBH. But I was then, and I remain, completely pro-Native American. I was much more interested in the battle from their vantage point. While standing there alone, the Washita, Sand Creek, New Ulm, the Black Hills, the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee, and other sites of Indian massacres all came to mind. I freely admit that it was very emotional for me.

SCPO (Join to see) - I have visited most of those sites. I find Wounded Knee and Sand Creek most moving.
Add Ft Robinson, NE, the site of the killing of Crazy Horse.
BTW, I live in the Black Hills.
