    The army was terribly.out gunned too. Many of the native warriors were using repeaters against the horse soldiers 45-70 trapdoor carbine.

    Yes there were holding actions attempted to let Custer escape. Keogh was killed doing so. Just wasn't good terrain for fighting positions.

    If you drive along the ridgethat the soldiers took from the river to Lanst Stand Hill, it's quite some distance. There are US Army headstones the entire distance marking where troopers fell. Their horses were exhausted, the soldiers were mostly immigrant teenagers, many of which couldn't even communicate well in English. The grass was on fire, the smoke along with the dust made for impossible signaling or reorganization. If memory from the battlefield still serves me, Custers rear guard, supply and hospital wagons were a short distance from the last stand hill approximately where the Natl Cemetery lies today. But the soldiers there in reserve were unaware of the massacre happening less than a mile away.

    Same can be said of Custer. His wife claimed he was 6' but his uniforms at the Little Big Horn Museum show he was a couple inches taller than average men of the era at 5'9".

    Was always enamored by the story of his horse; Comanche that survived the battle with 7 bullet wounds. He survived until 1891, one of only four horses to ever receive a full military funeral But he wasn't buried he was stuffed and resides at the U of Kansas.

    Seriously? This guy took the BLM ball and ran with it. Totally unnecessary could have been a bigger man. And now we see the truth in the matter he's doubling down on stupid. And the dungeon clock where all important threads go to die, is ticking.

    So if another driver bumps Wallace's car here out, is it a hate crime? Why does a certain race get to claim that a method of capital punishment; a noose, is racist? I look at a noose, I think of the punishment for horse stealing in the 19th century.
