Battle of the Greasy Grass ( aka Little Big Horn, Custer's Last Stand )

My rear is getting sore and I take any opportunity to stop which in this includes checking the Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument. Markers memorialize where the combatants fell. The brown headstones mark the fallen Native Americans and the while markers U.S. soldiers.

The road through the battlefield is about 5 miles and I ride from end to end surveying the battlefield. It's hard to feel sorry for the fallen U.S. soldiers. In a very real sense they represented usurpers. The Indians were defending their home land as the brown markers point out.
