“Visiting and walking the battlefield is on my ‘bucket list.”

You need to go. It’s truly an amazing place - pretty eerie too near the Last Stand Hill.

If you ever go, I highly recommend going to Pompeys Pillar. It’s not far from there and it’s a big massive rock where Lewis & Clark left graffiti on their cross-continental trek in 1806.

It is certainly emotional standing on the hill and
listening to the wind go through the grass.
The shouts of men and the sound of guns and horses seem to
echo in your ears.
I would love to go there again.

Thank you. I’ll add Pompey’s Pillar to my LBH notes.

Yes go. It is small enough to visualize everything that happened that day.
