150 years ago, a pivotal battle took place between the U.S. Army and the American Indians – a “coalition of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors” (NPS). Often memorialized as Custer’s Last Stand, named for the Lt Col George Armstrong Custer, the Battle of Little Bighorn remains a pivotal moment of great intrigue. To honor the story, we share our impromptu interview with National Park Ranger, Michael Donahue, who brings us back to 1876, to explains the significance of this battle and and why the site itself remains “a place where ghosts walk in broad day light.”
