RECREA TIOX. 



A RIDE TO CUSTER BATTLEFIELD. 



All who have visited Custer Trail Ranch 

 in the Bad Lands of the Little Missouri 

 river, near Medora, North Dakota, are fa- 

 miliar with the country, ranch and range 

 scenes. 



Excursions are made yearly to some of 

 the various Indian agencies located within 

 ioo or 200 miles, or to the Yellowstone 

 National Park. 



In 1899 we made a camping trip across 

 the Standing Rock Sioux reservation to 

 Fort Yates and return, riding over 400 

 miles. 



A week later 30 of the boys went by 

 railroad to Cinnabar, Montana, where the 

 horses, wagons, etc., had been sent. The 

 tour of the Yellowstone Park was made 

 camping, fishing and kodaking, with abun- 

 dant time for seeing all the wonderful gey- 

 sers, pools of hot or boiling water, colored 

 like the rainbow, falls, cascades, etc. 



We now propose starting about the mid- 

 dle of July, with necessary mess, and bed 

 wagons, tents, bedding, horses, and, in fact, 

 a full round-up outfit, keeping South of 

 Yellowstone river, crossing O'Fallon creek, 

 Powder, Tongue and Rosebud rivers, visit- 

 ing the Cheyenne agency, and camping for 

 a week on the Little Big Horn, at Custer 

 Battlefield, and Crow agency. 



This camping trip will be a grand one, 

 going through the most famous Indian 

 country in America, and viewing the scene 

 of the last and greatest fight made by the 

 united braves of the Sioux, Cheyenne and 

 other powerful tribes. 



The distance traveled will be 500 miles, 

 and will take about one month. 



If desired, arrangements will be made for 

 all who wish to visit the Yellowstone Park, 

 which is only a short distance from Custer 

 Battlefield. 



A fine baseball ground has been prepared 

 at Custer Trail Ranch, clay pigeon traps 

 are here, and everything will be done to 

 give the boys a good time. 



A fresh saddle horse, with cowboy sad- 

 dle, trappings, etc., is furnished daily for 

 each person. 



All those expecting to be at the ranch 

 this summer and take the Custer Battlefield 

 trip, should write early and engage ac- 

 commodations. Eaton Brothers, 

 Custer Trail Ranch, Medora, N. Dakota.
