Excerpt from Custer Battlefield National Monument, Montana
This was Custer's Last Stand - the most spectacular triumph of the American Indian in his four-century struggle against the relentlessly advancing European civilization that finally crushed him. It forms a chapter of American history that has inspired intense study and provoked intense controversy, that has been chronicled endlessly in prose and verse and enacted time and again on motion picture and television screens, and that has earned a lasting place in the Nation's historical annals and pop ular folklore. In total defeat and death, Custer and his men achieved an immortality that even the most dramatic victory could not have won them.
After the close of the Civil War, the Nation resumed its west ward march. An army of workmen pushed the rails of the Union Pacific up the Platte River Valley, to meet and join in 1869 with the Central Pacific beyond the Rocky Mountains. The Northern Pacific built from St. Paul, aiming for Dakota Territory and ultimately the Pacific Northwest. Steamers worked up the Missouri River, carrying passengers and freight to Fort Benton for the land journey to the gold mines of west ern Montana. Along the railroad and steamboat routes, the u.s. Army built forts and stationed troops to guard travelers and settlers.
