Sept 16 - to Little Big Horn and Billings, MT

We at at Sheridan Silver Spur and drove NW to Crow Reservation and Little Bighorn (Crow sided with Custer)

Battle took place over a wide area, but ended on this hill from which photo was taken.  The Sioux camp (Custer's target) is near trees on Little Bighorn River

Markrs show where soldiers fell

Markers gave soldier name and rank or occupation

Majors Reno and Benteen lead 6 of Custer's 11 companies (not counting the supply wagons).  They attacked below from other directions but had to retreat to approximately where I'm standing.  They survived a 2 day attack by Sioux and were later crticised for not helping Custer more

Headed toward Billings

Checked into Quality Inn, Billings and ate at Bruno's (Italian restaurant)
