Devils Tower and Little Big Horn

Fun day driving and seeing the sights.  Devils Tower was neat to see, but not a lot to see there.  Little Big Horn was interesting to walk around and see where the battle was and see where the soldiers fell.  The Natives removed their fallen after the battle, so there is no record of exactly where they died.







Little Big Horn Memorial.  The remains of the soldiers, that weren't relocated to other cemeteries, are buried under the memorial.

 The markers in the field show where the bodies were found and initially buried.  Later the bodies were moved to the memorial sight




 The memorial is on top of "Last Stand Hill" where Custer's body was found.
