In 2003, my new bride and I took a coach tour of the western National Parks. One of the stops was at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield Monument. It was the stop I had anticipated the most. The NPS guide was from the Crow Nation and gave an excellent presentation. He showed where Custer had first been buried, and then explained that he had been disinterred and reburied at West Point. All that they needed was some background music playing “Garryowen.”

One of the sights at Little Big Horn that I will always remember is the trail of crosses from the river, up to the hill, marking where each soldier fell, brave men they were, many of them newly landed immigrants, German and Polish.

Our guide that day was also Native American, he treated everything with fairness and respect.
