Billings Montana

Today we went to the Little Bighorn Battlefield. We listened to a narrative of the battle and the ranger was one of the best narrator I have ever heard. He really bought the battle alive. It turned out to be a really nice day. The sun was out and the sky was blue.
We have seen movies and stories about Custer and his last stand and they all differ greatly from the facts of what really happened. The facts that they have amassed at the battlefield come from first hand testimony from the Indians and the archaeologist's back up that testimony. We were always under the impression that Custer died in the valley surrounded by the Indians. That is not factual. His last stand was up on a ridge and there were 3 companies of soldiers. They have markers that show where the soldiers and where the Indians were felled. It was a piece of history.
When we left the dark thunderstorm clouds were building and by the time we got to our Motel it was raining. We went to a restaurant called Old Chicago for my birthday dinner and it was good. They have pictures of Chicago all over the walls. And the brothers who founded the restaurants were not from Chicago they were from Denver. They visited Chicago one time and were so impressed they opened restaurants with the Chicago name. I guess they have 100 of them across the country. We ate at one in Colorado Springs Co.
