Back in 1995, I had the opportunity to visit the Little Big Horn battlefield.

I was there in the late afternoon and early evening after many of the tourists had left.

It was incredibly interesting and a little errie to be standing alone on top of Last Stand Hill with just the wind blowing.

I was there in about 1984, and you are right, it is a little spooky.

Hello

See the testimonies posted here - I was there in 2002 and thought about fighting behind a slain horse until the end... Heroic and scary.

I was there for a day in the summer of 68.
I walked everywhere on the field to study tactics and see the markers. The last stand was indeed eerie. - I was awed.

Then I left for Glacier National, then Yellowstone.
I still have pictures, including those I took with that new invention - The Polaroid Swinger.

I was there back in 1976. If there is a haunted battlefield, Last Stand Hill is it. It's a long way from anywhere, and to see the headstones, one here , three over there, a ragged trail of them headed down the hills toward the Little Big Horn, all sticking out of the sagebrush, half visible... And as a final touch, signs warning you to stay on the paved paths, because of the rattlesnakes.

There is something wild, and lonely, in a day of cellphones, and, "we will be right there..."

I agree.

Looking at the terrain and standing there you can literally see how the battle unfolded.

Back in 1995, I had the opportunity to visit the Little Big Horn battlefield.

My wife and I were there on about June 10 1995. Were you the guy in the cowboy boots? We over stayed our time allotment and we were a several of hours for our next stop. I have photos somewhere. A few years after our visit the whole Battlefield burned all the vegetation and the Parks Service was able to find many hidden artifacts. The were documented and left in place I believe...

I had a similar experience there in 1999.

In a move across country as newlyweds my wife and I stopped at the Little Big Horn. The gates were closed so we walked back to the car. After hemming and hawing for quite a bit we hopped the fence - figuring we might never get back.

After a brief look at the monument and markers, with the sun going down and all alone (just like you!) we climbed back over the fence and left.

At the bottom of the hill a truck came up and blocked our path. It was the security guard (Indian). The park service guy living on the site had called us in. After the guard told us to wait and he went to make sure there was no damage he came back and wrote us a ticket - $50 each I think.

I told him our story and he said he would have done the same thing! And if the head park guy hadn’t called us in he would have let us have a warning.

And of course we’ve been back there three times now with our kids!

Been there myself, same situation, and felt the same.
