ended few feet from the sidewalk

1t was June rs. 1876, that Gen
George Armstrong Custer, one OF the
bravest and most dashing cavalry
leaders America has ever produced.
led five troops against the hordes OF
Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Rain
in-the face, from which none OF
them ever returned. This battle SO
shocked and awakened the people
of the country to the mistake OF
sending out expeditions against the
Indians inferior in numbers, not
armed with modern guns and with
out proper base of supplies that a
campaign was organized the the
following year and an expedition
sent out under Gen. Nelson A. Miles
so we'll equipped that it virtually
ended Indian warfare.
Due to grateful recognition of the
services of General Custer and the
devoted men of his regiment. the
battlefield of Little Big Horn will
today be the scene of a celebration
which is stirring the people of the
