custer's last stand

"Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument memorializes one of the last armed efforts of the northern plains indians to preserve their ancestral way of life.  here in the valley of the little bighorn river on two hot june days in 1876, more than 260 soldiers and attached personnel of the u.s. army met defeat and death at the hands of several thousand lokota and cheyenne warriors. among the dead were lt. co.l george armstrong custer and every member of his immediate command.  although the indians won the battle, they subsequently lost the war against the military's efforts to end their independent, nomadic way of life."

great for lettling everyone get out some energy on a long roadtrip.
