THE NAMES HISTORY FORGOT

The American soldiers who died at Little Bighorn have their names recorded in multiple places: on grave markers, in Army records, in the official casualty lists that were published in newspapers across the country in July 1876.

The cavalry trooper from Ohio or Pennsylvania or Ireland who rode with Custer and died on that ridge has at least the chance of being remembered by name.

The Lakota and Cheyenne people who died defending their village are, in most cases, anonymous in the American historical record.
