The Little Bighorn conflict heats up as a park superintendent seeks a more accurate account of June 25, 1876. No scalpings or rifle fire occur, but tensions persist over how the battle is presented to visitors.
Barbara Booker, the National Park Service superintendent at Little Bighorn, faces opposition from Custer fans who call her unfit, while supporters say she expands Indian hiring and aims for a more balanced, historically accurate portrayal of the 1876 battle and its legacy.
A historical notice recalls the 1876 clash 60 miles southeast of Billings, where Lt. Col. George Custer led about 225 troops against 10,000 to 15,000 Sioux and Cheyenne. The article notes Custer and his men perished, Crazy Horse’s surrender, and ongoing questions about what truly occurred.
