Little Bighorn "The Memorial"
THE MEMORIAL
The remains of about 220 soldiers, scouts, and
civilians are buried around the base of this memorial.
The white marble headstones scattered over the
battlefield denote where the slain troopers were found
and originally buried. In 1881 they were reinterred
in a single grave on this site.
The officers' remains were removed in 1877 to
various cemeteries throughout the country.
General Custer was buried at West Point.
