| Custer's
Last Stand Reenactment is ABOUT living history -- taking events from
the past and bringing them alive. This drive to bring the past in touch
with the present creates a marvelous time warp during a visit to the Reenactment
grounds. Before and after the show, visitors can interact with cavalrymen
who've set up camp --a bivouac -- just as they would have over 100
years ago.
Watch as the cavalrymen make bullets, clean weapons and get ready for
the coming battle. These re-enactors welcome questions from visitors. Come
a little early to the show -- you might learn something you never knew
before!
The Reenactment's living history area will also feature an Indian family making and selling traditional beadwork. The family's tipi will be set up with authentic furnishings such as hides, furs and tipi backrests. Before the show, you might also catch some of the cavalry mounting their horses and getting ready for battle. Some sharper scouts have even seen Custer riding his bay horse through the field, looking for Indians. Unless the call to battle is about to sound, these re-enactors are generally glad to answer questions, or to pose for a picture. You're invited to come see history like you've never seen it before, next summer at Custer's Last Stand Reenactment, , six miles west of Hardin, Montana. |

| JOHN & EVERETT HORN
The father-son team of Sgt. Maj. Everett & Sgt. John Horn have been re-enacting since the-mid 1980's. Sponsored by La-Z-Boy chair Co. and Enterprise Car Rentals, the Horn's have been in Custer's Last Stand Reenactment for the past ten years. They help out as historical advisors, Custer riders and musicians. Everett and John have been featured in many newspapers, magazines and television articles. Their movie credits started in 1992 when they were in "Legends of the West" with Jack Palance. For the last three years the Horns have been working for A & E and the History Channel with producer Gary Forman. Two of their last projects have been nominated for Emmys. Both are members of the Michigan Cavalry Brigade Association, where Everett is the president. John works on a survey crew and lives in Jackson, Michigan. Everett is a mason/cement finisher for the City of Jackson and lives on a small horse ranch in Tompkins Center, Michigan. |
