On to Mt. Rushmore!
... wherever a soldier or Indian fell and the monument to all of the Indian tribes involved on both sides. Last of all our guided tour took us to the hillside of Custer’s Last Stand, where Korie, Mrs. Krake, and I almost broke down crying because it was so sad to hear the ranger tell the entire story.
