Little Round Top? wasnt it Little Big Horn?

Little Big Horn's associated with Custer and the 7th Cav's last stand. Little Round Top's the hill that was decisively defended by the 20th Maine against an attack by the 15th Alabama during the Battle of Gettysburg.Originally posted by solaris:Little Round Top? wasnt it Little Big Horn?
