Thread Name: Historical Revisionism?
Subject: RE: Historical Revisionism?
Until 1991 the official Park Service name was Custer Battlefield National Monument, but of course everybody's always called it the Little Bighorn, even before there was a Park Service. So the change makes sense to me. Custer's supporters say it diminishes his role in the battle--- but hey, he got royally whoooooped, didn't he?
