Me too Ré!

Have you been to SD? On one day, we visited Crazy Horse, Custer Park and Mount Rushmore.

I’d have to say I was quite disappointed at Crazy Horse. I wanted to know his story, the story of his tribe and the story behind the monument. I felt like the buildings were sprawling and contained a lot of interesting stuff, but I never came across a concise telling of Crazy Horses story. In the last building we entered, I came across a small sign that basically said he was a good strong warrior who was putting up a good fight against the encroaching push west by the American army — that continued to break one treaty after another. It also said he was bayoneted under a flag of truce. I really do not know who runs the monument, but you would think that they should make the history clear. I doubt I was the only tourist who was there wondering about the story.
