The Little Bighorn Battlefield is unique in that marble markers show where individual US Army soldiers died fighting. Learn how we got those markers and how accurate they are. I'm always looking for more information on this topic, so please feel free to leave a comment. Thank you! For more information, I highly recommend Where Custer Fell: Photographs of the Little Bighorn Battlefield Then and Now by James Brust, Brian Pohanka, and Sandy Bernard. I also leaned heavily on Gregory Michno's The Mystery of E Troop: Custer's Gray Horse Company at the Little Bighorn.
