Students will learn not just about the events that took place along Montana's Little Bighorn River in June of 1876, but events that led up to the climactic battle and the consequential events that followed. It is a 25-year story, beginning with the military career of George Armstrong Custer and extending well after his death. Entwined with Custer’s story are the stories of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. The event marked the high point of Lakota military power and a turning point for all the Indians of the High Plains. It became the beginning of the end of the nomadic high-plains horse culture.
