Yup, like with other sources of info, you have to cheery pick from here and there to form some kind of idea. There's no one place to get it all, unless there's a time machine. ;D

The probability that Custer died as you described is more probable than any other thesis I have come across. Good job!Well my friend, Joe, we told each other a story about the hill, do you remember? I still believe that truth. Well said my friend, I remember. As Custer fell from a mortal wound to his head and chest, an Indian witnessed his collapse never certain (in the dust and turmoil), from whence the second shot rang. |

As Custer fell from a mortal wound to his head and chest, an Indian witnessed his collapse never certain (in the dust and turmoil), from whence the second shot rang. I'm glad you remind our conversations Joe and that I am strongly convinced by hard and sound reasons that George didn't died below but up in that hill, fighting as he ever lived. God bless you my friend. |

There might be a misunderstanding here. I think GAC died on the hill as well, my thought is that he picked up the chest wound elsewhere.

oh no Cutter, I've understood that. I am instead convinced that he was not wounded until he arrived on top of the hill. Two Moons: While I was sitting on my horse I saw flags come up over the hill to the east like that (raised his fingertips). Then the soldiers rose all at once, all on horses, like this (columns of four). They formed into three branches with a little ways in between." Two moon place the killing of the chief just before the deep ravine episode.

I agree with you both! Custer may or may not have been wounded before he reached LSH. Reaching it, he fell on the hill.

dear stumblingbear try to think:"While I was sitting on my horse I saw flags come up over the hill to the east like that (raised his fingertips). Then the soldiers rose all at once, all on horses, like this (columns of four). They formed into three branches with a little ways in between." Does it looks like a regiment who just had his chief badly wounded or, at worst, who just lost his Chief ? Frankly I don't think so.

I'm on the cell with it's itty bitty keyboard, this makes typing unbeleivably tidious. Am sorry for the website I posted, it seems they went commercial and now costs money now to access all of it.

Does it looks like a regiment who just had his chief badly wounded or, at worst, who just lost his Chief ? Frankly I don't think so. cinnamon, Regretfully SB was commenting on another thread entitled, " researching" in response to what Joe wrote there, which was... " The below information was written by General George Crook:
"Indian warfare is, of all warfare, the most dangerous, the most trying, and the most thankless. Not recognized by the high authority of the United States senate as war, it still possess for you the disadvantages of civilized warfare with all the horrible accompaniments that barbarians can invent and savages execute. In it you are required to serve without the incentive to promotion or recognition;in truth without favor or hope of reward."
This paragraph leaves me with one (for me anyhow) salient but unanswerable question. Who were the barbarians referred to by Crook? The Indians or the U.S. senate?" Regretfully so, her answer was appropriate for the thread in question and not intended as a reply to your thread. It's a common mistake, and no harm is or was intended by her or by me either in making this correction. I will state that I think it might have made for a good debate had her intentions been directed to your thread. No harm, no foul on anyone's part here. Good discussion here by the way.....  |
