English: "Last Stand Hill" and grave markers at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield in southeast Montana near Crow Agency. Here, on the afternoon of June 25th, 1876, General George Armstrong Custer and 262 men of the U.S. 7th cavalry under his command were wiped out by combined and superior Native American tribal forces of Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapahoe. This view is looking southwest. Custer's marker is seen in the center of the others with the "black" herald on the front and is placed approximately where he fell. The rows of trees seen just below the horizon indicate the location of the Little Bighorn River where the estimated 8,000 Native Americans were encamped during that time period. To the right of the trees can be seen the 7th Cavalry cemetery for all other US cavalrymen who were killed here during the fierce 2 day battle. Snow covered mountain ranges in the Bighorn National Forest can just be seen on the horizon.
