[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 301146, member: 9521"] Yeah, it seems like about half of the markers have "unknown soldier 7th Calvary" on it. What's amazing about this place is that it's pretty much exactly the way it was back on June 25, 1876. You can easily imagine the troop movements and where the Sioux village was and the valleys that Custer's men tried to use to escape. And then on Last Stand Hill you can see exactly how the end came about. It's an amazing place to visit, especially before the crowds get there and you can spend time pondering. The GSA did a very good job of placing panels at specific places that really helps you see what was going on that day. Here's the back side of "Last Stand Hill", as the attack intensified, Custer's men shot their horses at that top of the hill and steadily move down from the crest as the attack intensified to ultimately fall where you now see the markers.
