Custer Memorial Battle Field

It rained the whole day and Suzanne spent the day sitting in the car while I waded through waist deep wet grass to trace the retreat by the markers of fallen soldiers to Custer Hill where he and the rest of his command died.

Nice set and history 👌 I like the one of Custer's head stone in the midst of the waving grass.

Never been there. I can’t read the inscription on the plaque at the base of the monument. Are there any monuments to the fallen Native Americans on the site?
