The Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument is at Crow Agency here in Montana. And the 135th anniversary is this weekend.

This area memorializes the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry and the Sioux and Cheyenne in one of the Indian's last armed efforts to preserve their way of life. Here on June 25 and 26 of 1876, 263 soldiers, including Lt. Col. George A. Custer and attached personnel of the U.S. Army, died fighting several thousand Lakota, and Cheyenne warriors.

To celebrate, after 8 this morning, joining me on air will be Bob Reece he is the President of the "Friends of the Little Bighorn Battlefield" and also joining me will be Jame Donovan author of a National Best seller called "A terrible glory-Custer and the Little Bighorn"
