An accomplished attorney, Gary Liquori brings more than three decades of experience to his position as a lawyer and partner for Powers & Liquori in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Outside of his professional life, Gary Liquori enjoys reading about 19th-century American history and visiting battlefields around the United States. Among others, he has visited the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.
Created to honor the memory of the 1876 battle between the Cheyenne and Sioux tribes and the US Army 7th Cavalry led by George Custer, the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument recognizes a time and place considered by many historians to mark the end of Native American self-determination in the 19th century.
The national monument features a museum and visitor center that includes exhibits about the battle as well as information about the Plains Indians, General George Custer, and archaeological discoveries in the area. The site also features the Custer National Cemetery, which memorializes individuals from frontier outposts and 20th-century American wars.
Those who would like to tour the battlefield itself can take the 4.5-mile guided driving tour that traces points of interest from the historic battle. To further enhance the visit, the National Park Service offer audio recordings that provide narratives from the points of view of the Native American warriors and the American soldiers. Additional stops along the route offer supplementary information about points of interest.
