A crane and flatbed carrying the Spirit Warriors arrives at the Little Bighorn Battlefield	Entry to the memorial is through the east and west gates	The crane lifts a 4500lb. sculpture and 5000 lb. steel crib from the flat bed	The sculpture and steel crib rest on the ground.
The sculpture and crib are raised into an upright position on the ground.	The process begins of slowly lifting the sculpture and crib into place on its foundation behind the platform.	Monte Paddleford, owner of Eagle Bronze Foundry, and Bill Freese balance & guide the direction of the sculpture and crib movements.	The Spirit Warriors becomes airborne as it is picked up by the crane. More installation photos...
