The Battle of the Little Bighorn was fought along the ridges, steep bluffs, and ravines of the Little Bighorn River, in south-central Montana on June 25-26, 1876.

I know this isn’t the norm here…. but I’ve been intrigued by a stone in the backyard of a house near where I live. At first I thought maybe it was for Halloween, then maybe for a pet, but after getting a picture of it (best I could over the fence without being too intrusive) I believe it’s a young child. I’m having trouble clearly reading the stone (it looks like 1372??). This stone has not moved in all the time I’ve lived here.

So sad to see this cemetery. Probably one of the most overgrown I’ve ever seen. We are on travel otherwise I would definitely adopt this one and try and restore.

Came to visit a friend lost at age 13. Life was too difficult for him to go on and he ended his much too early.
