"These guys don't look so tough", George Custer tells his aide as hundreds of Indians pour on the field. ********* "Some people are alive today because it's against the law to kill them". | |||

Eerie is spot on. This book does a good job detailing where all the solders fell, with then and now photos: https://www.amazon.com/Where-C...ds=where+custer+fell | |||

I'd like to visit. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Custer: "Where in the Hell did all these fucking Indians come from?" Old Yellow Hair got what he deserved that day. His men, not so much. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Has there been a reasonable estimate of Indian deaths? I don't remember ever hearing. Guess not everyone is a fan... Apparently there is a big long loop drive of the area / battlefield? Sister and BIL did it a few years ago and she said never again! Boring drive she said, took a long time. But they were on Harleys and it was miserably hot that day. Collecting dust. | |||

i think Benteen had a serious dislike of Custer and hung him out to dry maybe on purpose. If not on purpose maybe he didn't encourage his men to back up the men getting slaughtered quite fast enough | |||

Lots of side notes about that battle and Reno. Comanche belonged to Maj, Keogh and was named because he'd once belonged to a Comanche. Reno was a captain in the cavalry at the Battle of Mine Creek October 25, 1864 at Mine Creek (KS)and involved about 12,500 cavalry on both sides. Reno is credited with ordering his burglar to blow charge that started the attack on the Confederates attempting to cross flooded Mine Creek. For Civil War buffs/ "OCTOBER 25th and THE BATTLE OF MINE CREEK BY LUMIR F. BURESH. ($12.95) The Lowell Press, KC, Missouri. Perhaps the largest all cavalry battle of that war! Reno was an honorable soldier then and at the Little Big Horn. Poli Viejo | |||
