The Battle of the Little Bighorn started on June 25, 1876. Where a group of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho Indians defeated and killed the troops led by General George Custer. Custer was and is still a controversial figure in the Indian Wars. Years before his demise at Little Big Horn, then Lieutenant Colonel Custer attacked a large group of Cheyenne in western Oklahoma  at what is now the Washita Battlefield National Historic Site killing many of them and 650 of their horses.

Welcome to another edition of Skywatch Friday. It's getting hot here in Oklahoma and despite the hopes of many, the heat hasn't done a thing to slow down the Corona Virus. I hope everybody is staying safe while getting sky photographs!

Skywatch Friday - 4 June 2020 Edition

Welcome to another edition of Skywatch Friday. We are rapidly approaching the start of Summer here in Oklahoma, USA. After a relatively cool, rainy Spring things are heating up and getting more humid. We are having a crazy year so far with the Covid 19 Pandemic and then lately the protests after the killing of George Floyd. We have had several protests here in Tulsa, for the most part peaceful but with lots of energy, and some vandalism by people with their own agenda.
