In August 2024, I travelled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, to attend the Little Big Horn Associates conference. I met up with my Montana Mayhem buddies and we hit up the sights around the area. As we are normally running around Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas, this was something different for us. And speaking just for myself, I had a blast!
It's always fun to meet up with fellow Custer/Indian War/History enthusiasts. I especially enjoy meeting people in real life that I have only known online. The Facebook pages and other message board sites are great for exchanging information and ideas. But close friendships can also be found online. Our Montana Mayhem group was formed by individuals who were fed up with the status quo of the online message boards. With the development of the Facebook groups, more and more people are getting exposed to the Custer story.
So, I apologize in the fact that this post has nothing to do with any troopers in South Dakota. But it is 7th Cavalry related. It also shows some of the fun that can be had with a membership to the Little Big Horn Associates. There are newsletters, scholarly journals, and the opportunity to attend these conferences around the country. Not to mention you meet a lot of really cool people who share your interests.
Check out my Montana Mayhem 2024 photo album on Google Photos (I know we didn't go to Montana.) Sorry for the helter-skelter organization in the photo album. But you get the gist...
Check out this video that didn't make it into the album. Watch to the end and you'll see my buddy Frank being weird. Come on...I know you want to. It's only a handful of seconds.
