Washita Battlefield National Historical Site

On New Year's Day we went out to spend the day with my brother and his family. Near where he lives is the Washita Battlefield National Historical Site. This is the site where Custer and Black Kettle fought. Click here to read about the battle, which was a dawn raid by the cavalry under Custer on the winter village of Black Kettle.

Now this is all a historical site and my mom and I spent a couple of hours walking around the site. It was a great day, cold but without the trademark Oklahoma wind. Below are some pictures of the site.

The sun sets on the prairie.

Ahhh! There is that red dirt for which Oklahoma is famous.
