Well done Lad! I too have found MT to be kilt friendly. I have family about 1 1/2 hours west of Billings and during my annual visits have found that even the confused are still friendly when I am kilted.
I have been to the reinactment that you mentioned, it is (or was) just west of the National Park, I thought it was a nice event where they balanced modern patriotism for the US with respect for the historical events which may not have been our finest hour.
Cheers,
Marshal Moroni

Actually, if the reenactment of the battle is still held in the same location, it on property that belongs to a Crow family & is an actual part of the extended battle area/site.
Off the top of my head I forget the family's name, but I had a number of pard's in the cavalry reenactment community who've participated there.

Aha -- thanks for the clarification, Terry. You are quite correct that reenactments may be held on original battlefields -- just not the ones under NPS jurisdiction.

Would be quite the hair raising experience (pun intended) to reenact the Custer battle on land that was part of the original site, wouldn't it?
