In reply to Charlene. A lot of the main research was done over several years as I wrote my upcoming historical novel. I plan to publish it in a few months, before the sesquicentennial of these events. I do have to take time to verify information and also find extra details to flesh the posts out. As readers will find, though, there's a lot more to the Battle of the Little Bighorn than many folks realize. It was hardly a stand-alone event.

Wow! You do your research – so many interesting details.

Comment on Lincoln’s Birthday: Fort Abraham Lincoln by Dan

I haven’t been to that site in 50-plus years. All that remained of the fort at that time, as I recall, was crumbling remains of foundations showing where the buildings had stood. I believe the Mandan lodges were a short distance away.
From what I have gathered online, a lot of improvements have been made in the last half-century, including the building of a replica of George and Libby Custers’ house (other Custers were present at the fort and on GAC’s final campaign – another post topic to come) along with tours and facilities as mentioned in my post above. I plan to return there once my book relating to it is in print.

Fascinating! I remember that Mandan village. Didn’t know there was a fort there.
