I took a trip up to Bismarck to see my Brother back in the early 80's, including a trip over to Yellowstone N.P.
As a "side trip" on my way back to Bismarck, I decided to stop by the Little Big Horn National Monument.
I spent the rest of the day light hours there. I walked the trails & listened to the recounting of the events by both the "white man's side" and the "Indian side." It was fascinating.
Afterwards, I asked the employees who spoke what books they recommended reading. Save The Last Bullet For Yourself and the recounting of "Wooden Leg" - I forget the exact title now. I bought both and even more. I wasnt disappointed in the least. Those two books were excellent.
That "side trip" to the Little Big Horn really got me into the whole plain's Indian history and deeper into Texas Indian history.
I look forward to going back up to Montana again - but not until my 3 year old son gets old enough to comprehend and appreciate the monument and the history.
They have employees who don't speak? - Not trying to be sarcastic, just confused.

Great idea. You and I both. - I have a son going on 5 and a 3 year old daughter. - I was going to wait a few more years but hey, what if I die somehow?
I'm returning to the area and also Glacier, Yellowstone, and Cody next summer.
I guess I will be hiking the old trails to Trout Lake in GN alone...
