Time has erased the lodge p()'l(,'
trails from the plaing of the Rosebud
and the passing yveary have «uww-hul'
the flame kindled at word of Custer's
crushing defeat, But the story of that
heroie struggle remaing one of th
romantic chapters in frontier history.

Little Big Horn river, in southern
Montana, where on June 25, 1876,
aeneral George Armstrong Custer led
five companies of the Seventh caval

their death songs. At the crest of
the hill, near a great monument on
