Remembering the Fallen: Little Bighorn Monument stands tall on Custer's Hill, preserving the bones of those lost in the Battle of Little Bighorn. A haunting photograph captured by Stanley Morrow in 1876 takes us back to that fateful day. The brave survivors of Custer's Last Stand, mounted on their horses and led by scout Curley, serve as a testament to their resilience amidst chaos. EVNT2A-00070 captures a moment frozen in time, forever etching the Battle into history. As we journey through Montana's Crow Indian Reservation and witness the vast Great Plains stretching before us, we can almost hear the thunderous hooves of horses at Little Big Horn River. It was here that destiny clashed with bravery and sacrifice. The pile of bones discovered at this sacred site serves as a somber reminder of lives cut short during this historic battle. In vivid color lithographs depicting Custer's Dead Cavalry and his last charge published by Currier & Ives in 1876, we glimpse into the intensity and desperation felt on both sides. Examining a map detailing every inch of the battlefield brings forth an understanding of its strategic significance. And yet, it is equally important to acknowledge that after all was said and done, there were Indians leaving the battleground too – warriors whose courage matched that of their adversaries. Today, as we reflect upon the Battle through these captivating images from yesteryears' lithographs, let us honor those who fought valiantly for what they believed in. May their stories echo across generations as a reminder that history is not just about victories or defeats but also about human spirit persevering against all odds.
