Last Stand Hill, June 25, 1876

Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors surrounded this position near the climax of the battle. Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and approximately 41 men shot their horses for breastworks and fought to the death. Custer and several soldiers were found at the crest of the hill while others were discovered along the slope. This was the famed “Last Stand” of legend.
