I JUST HAD to share this!! Today I went to the Historical Marker Dedication ceremony at the Daniel Kanipe Home in Marion, North Carolina. I will be forwarding some of the information from this to JoAnn and Billie, as Daniel Kanipe is one of the two survivors from C Company, 7th Cavalry after the Battle of Big Horn, where Custer's Army was decimated. Most of the history of the battle is based upon Daniel Kanipe's memories and recollections of that day. It was awesome! The home has been restored and it was open for walk throughs. The man who has researched Mr Kanipe's life is emailing me the biography that he wrote for the occasion which I plan to put on McDowell County's site, but which I think should be made available for Montana and the military site. Mr Kanipe's memories were instrumental in the establishment the Custer National Park. Wonderful way to start the day.... Btw, I have updated Idaho and have bunches more data available for researchers. www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~idtttp Let me know what you think... Jeanne/jmh

You meant Custer Battlefield National Monument? Congress changed the name to this to reflect the hard facts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Bighorn_Battlefield_National_Monument The name change was 10 Dec 1991 because it was not a Army victory. It was the combined tribes victory. The Native Americans hate the name Custer for very good reasons.
