True. there was no 'last stand,' in the strictest term. Custer and his men were simply shot down while trying to run away. Recent archeological evidence relvealed that the last soldiers to die in the battle were killed at deep ravine, away from 'last stand hill.'
I would like to visit the battlefield; my history teacher has been there and says it was really interesting.
