Highlights from Salina, KS and Hardin, MT

6/26/2017

 
​Spent Tuesday, June 13th through Friday, June 16th at the Little Big Horn Association (LBHA) Conference in Salina, KS. I joined up with many old friends and wonderful historians. So many highlights, to include an impressive talk by David Harrington, titled, “Custer and Miles in Kansas: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship.” I never knew George and Nelson were so close … and so much alike. Our bus tours took us to many places famous in the early 1860s Indian Wars. We visited the sites of Cheyenne Dog Soldier raids along the Saline and Solomon Rivers in Kansas. Then toured Ft Harker and Ft Hayes, where Custer served commanding the 7th Cavalry. We enjoyed countless rich and interesting stories. What an amazing event!
 
I am now in Hardin, MT, very close to the Little Big Horn Battlefield. On Sunday, June 18th, Father’s Day, a few of us met with several Crow and Cheyenne Native American descendants of warriors who fought either with Custer as scouts (Crow Indians) or against him (Cheyenne). They have been gracious enough to show us things and tell us things never written about, and which we would never have known. I also managed to photograph newly discovered Native American artifacts – perhaps for a Second Edition of “Artifacts of the Battle of Little Big Horn.”
 
I’ll be in Hardin until next Sunday, at the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association symposium, and then home on Monday. A great trip, but I’ll be happy to get home to my lovely wife and new Sheltie, Stormy.
