Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

On this site in 1876 the historic Battle of the Little Big Horn began. Joe Medicine Crow, Ph.D., "High Bird," a Crow tribal historian and grandson of Custer’s Last Scout, Whiteman Runs Him Forward, said, "When we stand side by side in the circle of no beginning and no ending, the first maker, creator of all things, is in the center. He hears the words of supplication and blesses us with his infinite love which is 'peace' itself." Here rests in honored glory an American soldier known but to God, a member of Reno’s command found near the river in June 1926.
