One of our stops was the Grant-Kohrs Ranch that commemorates the western cattle industry from 1850s to present. It is still a working ranch today.
We arrived at our Harvest Host site for the night, Canyon Creek Brewery early afternoon. Decided to drive to Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument. This is in the Crow Nation and was a sobering experience to see and hear (audio tour) the devastation and lost lives as Euro-Americans moved west and displaced the Native Americans. We could have spent more time there but they close at 4:30 pm.
Back at the brewery, we spent some time with the locals and had a few beers.
Thursday we’ll head to Wyoming.
Truly a black mark on the history of our country, learning of the lost lives and devastation, as though the Native Americans had no value or rights to their own property. So very, very sobering.
