 On the state in 1876, General George Custer and 264 soldiers of the 7th U.S. Cavalry were slaughtered by Sioux and Cheyenne Indians at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana. It was a Sunday, and I mention this every year, but this puts it in perspective. To me, there were eight games going on in Major League Baseball that day, and one of them was a no-hitter.
