Day 17 (D-44) Custer's Last Stand: The Battle of Little Bighorn

It's time for another break before leaving Custer on the morning of our fourth day of the trip.  Here are a few videos for you to watch on youtube.  I've given you these three; there are many more. Do some surfing yourself, if you have time.  But keep in mind that the Little Bighorn Battlefield is in Montana, immediately to the north from the northern Wyoming state line....and that's not too far from where Craig Johnson lives.  You haven't forgotten the American writer, author of the Walt Longmire books, who came to Grenoble in April, 2016, have you?

Little Big Man, the full movie, but sorry, no subtitles, so just watch the introduction.  Jack Crabb (Dustin Hoffman, 121 years old) speaks slowly.

The Battle of Little Big Horn from the film Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee  (1 minute, 10 seconds)

(7 minutes and 42 seconds, with subtitles, but they are not always very good.)

And VOA English is always interesting, easy to understand and good for learning English.  -->
