Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument Virtual Walking Tour; Brilliant Montana Summer Day
Hello Walkers,
This week’s walk comes from a place steeped in deep history and powerful memory—Little Bighorn Battlefield in southeastern Montana. We spent the weekend just south of Hardin, MT, during the anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which took place on June 25th, 1876. The area was buzzing with remembrance and reflection, and it was a moving time to be there.
As part of the experience, we attended a reenactment organized by a local Crow family, held between Crow Agency and Garryowen, just off Interstate 90. There were plenty of horses, historic firearms, and dramatic scenes, but what really stood out was the storytelling—from the Native perspective. Hearing that side of the history added a layer of truth and depth that often gets left out of traditional narratives.
We also made our way to the Big Horn County Museum in Hardin, where we saw a cannon demonstration and a working Gatling gun in action—amazing pieces of living history. And on Sunday, we visited the Rosebud Battlefield site, the location of a major conflict that happened just one week before Little Bighorn. It gave us even more context and insight into the events that shaped this region.
During the weekend, I carved out a little time to record a walking tour through the Little Bighorn Battlefield. Now, I want to be clear—this isn’t a full historic tour or documentary. I’m not a historian, just a traveler and observer, offering a quiet look at this sacred ground and what the terrain might have looked like nearly 150 years ago. The solemn hills, the silence, the markers scattered across the prairie—it’s a powerful place.
I’ve also started reading “Keep the Last Bullet for Yourself” by Thomas Marquis, a fascinating and intense account of the battle from a unique angle. I plan to dive deeper with more reading and research as time goes on. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them in the comments.
Thanks for walking along with me today. I hope this brings a thoughtful and respectful pause to your walk or workout.
Until next time,
Keep on steppin’
– Henry
