Update January 15, 2011: The Little Bighorn Oxbow Survey. Archeology is what keeps the Little Bighorn Battlefield interpretive staff busy these days. After the digs of 1984-85 much new information came to light regarding Custer's Last Stand: spent cartridges, fired bullets, personal items, and human remains uncovered from the shallow earth began to unravel mysteries. More digs followed in 1989 and 1994. I worked as an interpreter during the 1985 summer season. How we explained the battle to the visitors was very much different from today due to the digs. September 2004 saw a complete battlefield road survey with 350 battle related artifacts discovered. If you're interested in this subject, then archeology is really a must. I hope you enjoy this section of our web site. Warmest Regards, Bob Reece

"We
could see the smoke of their camp fires as they cooked breakfast. We
scouts thought there were too many Indians for Custer to fight."
