Military

A large depression marks the site of a mass grave where the U.S. Army buried its casualties from the battle. This ridge was also the site of a hastily erected field hospital, just a tent where surgeons tended and operated on the wounded. In 1912, the army dead were reinterred at Custer National Cemetery in Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument near Hardin, Montana. People died here, and the site is a burial ground.
