Camp 21

On June 15,1876 General Custer made his 21st camp in this area, a mere 10 days prior to the Battle of the Little Bighorn. One of Custer's Indian scouts,Young Hawk, recalled: We marched up on a hill overlooking the Elk River and then down to the mouth of the Tongue. [Following the Custer Trail of 1876, by L.J. Chorne].

This portion of the Yellowstone River Valley, as well as the city of Miles City, contains an enormous amount of history that is important to Native Americans and to those interested in the American Indian Wars, the "wild west", the Milwaukee and Burlington-Northern railroads, the lives of the homesteaders, and so much more.

Camp 21 lies nestled in the Yellowstone River Valley, a mere 7.5 miles on Valley Drive East - Highway 10 from Miles City, Montana. Camp 21 can also be reached by taking Exit #148, Interstate 94.
