About the Crazy Horse Monument

In 1947, sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski accepted a commission from the Sioux to carve a likeness of Crazy Horse in their sacred Black Hills. Ziolkowski died in 1982; with luck, his great-great-grandchildren will live long enough to dedicate the finished sculpture.

Unlike Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse is being sculpted in the round. The finished creation, depicting a mounted Crazy Horse pointing to the surrounding land, will stand 563' tall (higher than the Washington Monument) and 641' long. All four Mt. Rushmore heads would fit inside Crazy Horse's head.

Geronimo is buried at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
Some interesting things there to see and read about.
I'll let people be surprised by it if and when they get there.
One surprise I won't hold back: Atomic Annie, first howitzer to fire a nuke round sits in the on post museum. I ran my hand down it's 'trails'.. considering it was a rail borne howitzer.

But the real neat stuff is hidden away everywhere for you to stumble on.
