@@SFRProductions Along with watching and enjoying the Little Big Horn videos, I also recently watched your Guadalcanal videos. Seeing the terrain in real life and the maps is perfect.

@@joeparvana9549 Guadalcanal was unreal, I never thought the terrain was so steep and just the entire environment was unreal.

Reno Court of Inquiry transcript contains much of this information.

Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. Really like "Where the Rivers Ran Red" Michael Donahue, met him last year when I was there from June 24 -28 2022. Spent those days just walking around the battlefield.

Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. Yes you will get the map once you enter at the NPS booth. I hope that you have had the chance to watch some of the other videos in the History Adventures series.

lost there minds... .errr heads i mean... they were put on pikes

Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. Thank you for the info, there are so many different accounts of what happened I tried my best to provide the best information I could. I hope that you have had the chance to watch some of the other videos in the History Adventures series.

@@SFRProductions no problem you, you did a nice job. It is one of the most confusing battles of all time....I have studied it since I was about 8 years old in 1979.....I still feel like it is a ball of confusion. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤪🤪🤪🤪😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🥴🥴🥴🥴

I think that Gustav Korn holds a missing link - it was said by Henry Jones of the pack train that Korn was coming up the grade as the pack train was ascending the hill to Reno hill area - so giving the time pack arrived is about the same time soldiers down the river approached river - Korn said Keogh was wounded at river and Keogh bloody leggin and a boot belonging to Keogh was found close to river - the time here is important as Korn never said anything about most of the men were killed as this point and Weir took off before pack train arrived - so this gives credence to the Indians saying Custer and his men were wiped out in about 20 to 25 minutes

​@@RV-eq8gj Well, respectfully, i think you are way off with your times....Korn never saw Keogh hit, because Korn claimed his horse bolted way ahead and across the river at Medicine Tail Ford, far ahead of the command.....so how could he have seen Keogh hit, who was by then 200 yards behind him, across the river, through the thickets of trees and brush along the river??? Especially when the Indians say the cavalry never even made it close to the river, but skirmished on the flats, dismounted We still do not know if Keogh was even anywhere near the river, as it is virtually all agreed that the troops never got close to the river itself, fighting on the flats, against warriors who had already crossed....and it was always assumed he was in command of the 2nd battalion which waited further up on Nye Cartwright Ridge or Luce Ridge (depending on your view). While Custer was on his bluff, with Cooke and staff not far from the river, overlooking the flats where the skirmishing was happening. I have personally always believed that if an officer in buckskin was hit and fell from his horse at the river, it was at Ford D, and it was Algernon Smith commanding E Company, the Grey Horse Troop or George Yates, commanding F Company, since both wore buckskins. But the Custer battle lasted MUCH longer than a mere 20-25 minutes from the time they came down Medicine Tail Coulee, to the time all the men were dead later on Last Stand Hill and Deep Ravine. Perhaps the final combat segment itself, from the Route of Co Company which started the dominos falling, to the deaths at the end, it was 20-25 minutes.....but there were far more moves, distance sniping, skirmishing and positioning, for far longer, between the time they hit Medicine Tail Ford Flats area @ 2:02 PM (local Sun time), the battalions rejoining @ 2:26 (at Calhoun Hill), Custers battalion leaving to move north @ 2:30, while Keogh deploys C,I & L around Calhoun Hill, t Custer going to for D and skirmishing there @2:45 then returning as C Company charged at @2:48 & was destroyed by @2:56, then L on Calhoun Hill around 10 minutes later, around 3:07 followed by I's collapse 5 minutes later @ 3:12 to the eventual flight of the tiny remnants of survivors r of the right wing, to meet up with Custers battalion on Last Stand Hill @ around 3:17, to the rough time of complete destruction on Last Stand Hill and Deep Ravine @ around 3:45. 20-25 minutes estimates for the fight seems logical...but *ONLY* to the Custer battalions portion of the fight on Last Stand Hill and Cemetery Ridge/Deep Ravine Basin. The Time from the fight at Medicine Tail Ford, back up deep coulee 1.25 miles to rejoin and meet to plan the next move, to rejoin at Calhoun Hill, to deploy, and for Custer to then scout another 1.5 miles miles northwest, skirmish at Ford D, then return 1 mile south east and then east to Last Stand Hill, to total destruction, was in fact, approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes. There was time for a retreat to Calhoun Hill, time to redeploy C,I,L there to protect the 1st battalion's scouting and wait for Benteen....then time for Custer and his battalion with E & F to go all the way around battle ridge, all the way down to scout Ford D, engage in a skirmish, then retreat back to Cemetery ridge and LSH, as the move started (C Company charging into Calhoun Coulee)that started the collapse of Keogh's wing. Unfortunately we will never know all the specifics, but the timeframe is very well established within rough parameters.

Thank you for the reply - I have studied this battle on and off for 20 years - you are well schooled and Thanks- I research peripheral characters and events - for example looking into newspaper archives and reading how Sitting Bull said "I have 8000 warriors and if the army comes near me - we will fight" an exaggeration I believe there were 2000 to 2500 warriors at LBH. But this was common knowledge in 1876. Many say the Indians had more firepower than Custer but they can't explain where the Indians got ammo after expending most all they had at the battle of the Rosebud. The Indians overwhelmed Custer in shear numbers and in those open plains the conflict was over quick. The 7th was a complete dysfunctional unit - Benteen hated Custer and didn't care much for Reno either - 2 years prior Custer denied Benteen leave to go be with Benteen sick daughter on which the daughter died - Benteen held a grudge on that and many other things - Benteen and Reno aligned for their professional interest - Did Custer get into the village and fight on that side of the river - some say there was evidence of this - Custer was in hot water with Grant on surfacing the fraud of Orville Geant General Belkamp and another General for kickbacks from Indian reservation funds. Concealment of knowledge didn't start with JFK it been going on along time. Once again thanks for your reply - on the Sitting Bull article the press was building this encounter up for months before battles and New York time got word and told of Rosebud on the 24th - I know there was a Korn inquiry back at Ft Lincoln and I have not seen this or found a copy yet - as to the route Korn traveled after crossing the River I was of the impression that he went east to west directly thru the village then on the outskirts made a southern direction until he ascended the hill meeting up with Pack train- if Korn hugged river area that would be where most of warriors were and it would be hard to get through I not sure on this matter

Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. I see that you have also watched some of the other videos in the History Adventures series. I think with a special tour with the NPS you can get down to the river and take a look. but most of the area is privately owned.

Thanks for watching and making a comment. Like most battlefields around the world current names are used as a reference point, I did the same with this video so that someone that has an interest can identify a location using todays maps and information. Again thanks for watching and I hope you had a chance to watch some of our other videos.

How about pressing the attack and cutting off or capturing the pony herd? By dismounting he simultaneously lost the initiative, all momentum and 25% of his combat strength (horse holders). Against increasing superior numbers, this guaranteed defeat

@@stuartjarman4930 if im not mistaken,Reno's attack was meant to draw warriors away from the opposite end of the village where Custer would begin his attack. Reno did draw warriors towards his line i dont think he actually knew how many warriors there were..i dont know why he ordered a dismount and formed a skirmish line when he now knew he was drastically outnumbered. As for the Pony herd,His orders were to attack the lower end of the village not capture ponies.

That describes the Lakota and Cheyenne perfectly during the Tongue River massacre of the Crow. At the Little Bighorn the Lakota were able to take on some isolated companies of the 7th cavalry when they outnumbered them 10 to 1. They failed to drive the rest of the 7th from their positions on Reno Hill even with superior numbers and then packed up the camp and ran away.

OP - How about Massacre Canyon when the Sioux slaughtered 100s of Pawnee men women and children while they were simply on a buffalo hunt?

@@USCFlash- I don’t think there were many angels on either side.

@@rcrinsea I agree completely....that is why I object to people like the OP casting the hostile elements of Sioux and Cheyenne as these harmless eco-hippies, hanging out, dancing, playing the drums and doing nothing wrong.

bloody knife killed gauls family for revenge of gaul killing his family...
