What to see in America . Flathead Riveh battlefield itselfdisclosed, hascome from thehostile red the low-lands flows thewinding, tree-fringed LittleBighorn River,and between theAgency and thebattlefield, three miles distant, is a level stretch of pasturage. Then youcome to hills rising in a long and often steep sweep to ahigh ridge that overlooks all the country for miles this ridge the battle was fought. It is a dreary spot,entirely devoid of trees or other marked features. The soilis full of small stones scantily hidden by growths of sagebrush,prickly pear, and tufts of coarse grass.
