Yeah, I was there 5 years ago, you can definitely feel the ghosts of those that died there. Unlike most battlefields, the area is little changed from how it was in the 19th century. You can feel how it must have been for them

Man has never learned and NEVER will, wars keep going on til the end of times as WE know it

70% of the soldiers were Dutch, German, Swedish and Irish poor immigrants. Many of them had lied about their age as well and were around 16 to 17 years old. That is what the archaeological findings reveal! There never was a nice "Custers Last Stand" either. They were scattered over a large area and were slaughtered or shot themselves to not become prisoners of the Indians in many cases.

Or ...' how long is a piece of string ' ??

The experience was different for different Indians. Some came late and others left early. All scholars have come to the conclusion that the battle was about two hours long. Once the collapse began it happened fairly quickly, but there was a lot of shooting and ducking back and forth before the Indians felt it was safe enough to charge in. You can read what the chiefs at the battle had to say in Gregory Michno's "Lakota Noon."

Yeah, there was no 'battle'. The Americans were killed while tryng to run away - not particularly creditable to either side.

@@paddymeboy There was a documentary on tv to support your claim as forensic technicians trailed the spent cartridges to a hollow which proved there was no stand but a flee

that was his answer to how long the battle lasted...

Custer was a maniac..pure and simple

you mean only loosers - the indians funny how usa tries to tell the world that the north fought "for the slaves" but the same north slaughtered the indians 13 years later :DDDDDDD btw custer looks like angry ben stiller :D

Murderers and criminals got their just deserts that day. Remember being taught English school he as in custard was a hero ouch we all know he and 7th criminals where out to do genocide.history leaders and politicians at the time should be accounted for.

ALl History of. USA is Chane Crime’s , Roberry ‘s and Murder’s

The best book on the battle is Gregory Michno's "The Mystery of E Company." Michno analyzes all of the previous histories and the archeological exams after the fire that denuded the battleground in 1983. One thing that becomes clear is that Custer did not panic but fought the last. He had waited for Benteen to arrive until he finally deployed his companies into a rough square, which was a tried and true defense of the 19th century. Custer had successfully employed it against similar odds in 1873 as did General Sully in 1968. Custer had used it a number of times during the CW with great success as well, so he knew how to do it quickly. If Benteen had arrived, Custer would have had more rifles per side than either he or Sully had in the early actions I list here. Michno goes into micro-detail to show how this happened.

Way better than Stephen Ambrose's books on Custer, Crazy Horse, and Sitting Bull.

Me too!

@@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 I believe the book you are referring to is "The Mystery of E Troop: Custer's Gray Horse Company at the Little Bighorn". It is indeed a fascinating book on the matter. However had Benteen arrived, he would not have stopped or repelled the attack, in reality he and his Battalion would have been decimated as well. multiple scholars and even accounts of those who were there said that any attempt a relief would have been doomed as well. Benteen prepared his forces and what was left of Reno's for a fight the coming morning, so they entrenched themselves. Instead the indians moved out rather than attack the bluffs on the high ground.

Did Custer commit suicide like he did in real life?

Thanks for that information. Interesting detail. Makes for a strange world. I was at the uni in Strasbourg. From this Custer strikes me as utterly incompetent.

that should not bother you, because there was no last stand, they all ran in the end, kneeled and laid down. most of them panicked as the bullet findings suggest. there was nill heroism

​@rnies6849 not with Miles Keough. He fought so bravely that the Indians did not mutilate his body. 2k warriors , many with repeating rifles caught 210 troopers,out in the open armed with short range pistols and single shot carbines many of which malfunctioned. Soldiers on Reno hill in a,defensive position held out for 2 days until Terry arrived.

@@Thunderchild-gz4gc new archaeologists research and reports of indians gave this picture

Yes, the most realistic, but not that accurate, yet more accurate than the junk that had preceded it. (The only possible exception to that is the one item in the Errol Flynn version when it depicts the truth that Custer saved the Union by preventing Stuart from coming into the Union rear on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg during Pickett's Charge). Many myths about the LGH and Custer are indulged in it. The later inquiry made it clear as have the many in-depth studies of that battle that if Benteen had followed orders and Renonot had not been drinking, Custer would have had enough men in his square formation to frustrate the Indian attacks as he had in 1873, and Sully had in 1968. (Michno proves this in "The Mystery of E Company"). From the start of this sequence from the mini-series, all of the false myths about the battle are in place and misrepresent the actual known facts about the battle. As the entire command was passing through a narrow valley, there was a series of low ridges to the left. Custer wanted Benteen to "sweep" through them to make sure that no Indians were able to hit them as they passed through. Some witnesses said that Benteen dawdled because he didn't believe they would find Indians that day and others said that Beteen wanted Custer to go out and find trouble by himself. Benteen was a cynical officer. He was a Southerner who had joined the Union Army during the CW because he didn't believe in slavery, but he also didn't like Yankees. Custer had leaped over him in promotion and he resented that, too. There are a number of diaries from survivors of the battle, Lt. Godfrey's being the most pertinent one in this case. He had been with Reno's command. He concluded his diary by saying that Custer's scouts did not warn him to not pursue the Indians once he found them that he would have been severely criticized. It was Crook a week earlier who left the field after the Battle of Rosebud Creek and sent no word of it to Custer or Terry and Gibbon who took longer to cross the Yellowstone River than expected. All three were supposed to converge within a gunshot of the other by the day Custer found the Sioux and Cheyenne camp. When Benteen found Reno, he did not move on to get to Custer as ordered. Lt. Godfrey's diary says that distinct distress volley signals were made so that Benteen had to have heard and could come to them. But he didn't. So everyone let Custer down that day. Chief Gall said of the men on Custer (Cemetery) Hill that if all of the soldiers had fought as hard as the men there, they would not have won the day. (You can read what all 28 Chiefs who were at the battle had to say about it in Gregory Michno's "Lakota Noon.).

If Reno and Benteen had rushed to help Custer they would have all been slaughtered.

There was another one custer off the west Robert Shaw played custer and his real wife Mary ure was his wife in it

I've read where Jim Thorpe knock the hell out of Earl Flynn after he took a swing at him at the Brown Derby, hahaha

I think Earl Flynn is related to Errol Flynn and yeah, Thorpe did take a swing at him! I grabbed both of them by the scruff of the neck and threw them out of that tavern! 'Nother round?

Wise up. Benteen wasn't sent on any 'pincer movement.' He was sent on a perfectly useless 'flanking maneuver' to keep him out of what Custer expected would be an easy victory (this would deny Benteen credit toward a promotion.) The proof of this is Custer's immediate advance beyond Benteen's column, which was ostensibly his flank guard. He literally left it behind, and only sent his 'come on' message as he was descending Medicine Tail Coulee--without mentioning, of course, that he had hung Reno out to dry on the other side of the river. His demand that Benteen 'bring the packs'--which were not under Benteen's command--placed the onus of the pack train's safety directly on Benteen, and Benteen was perfectly justified in waiting for the pack train to arrive at Reno Hill, as the Army concluded. Custer got no backup because he left it too far behind. If you talk to the US Command and Staff College you'll find Custer has a poor reputation there.

Benteen also disobeyed a direct order and disregarded the volley fire which was a call for immediate aid Reno was drunk.

@@charlesfaure1189wrong. He was order to button up the East should the Indians break out that way. Then if no sign of it swing back to aid Custer

​@charlesfaure1189 Custer may have made some errors but is generally regarded as having sound strategy. Yes he stretched everything to the limit of reason but made no real errors. By the time he realized his weak condition it was too late to change anything. He sent for help more than once. One time it was wrongfully denied. He was not flawless that day but he was quite competent and correct in his strategies. Bad Intel and poor communication, and eventually outright failure of other commanders to appropriately compensate for an ever changing battlefield resulted in what happened. We all can speculate forevermore but the point is that Custer was a good commander, one of the best, and this catastrophe does not rest on his shoulders alone, and arguably only in a minor way.

Custer disregarded his scouts initial intelligence and reports, which was basically the story of the day. Custer was “brave” but more so impulsive and egotistical. Not traits of a good commander. If grenades had been invented, he would have woke up with one in his tent long before then.

Not always a bad idea....Lee was forced to do this sort of thing several times and usually won battles when he did.

Custer was trying to capture the women and children and hold them as hostages. He thought he would conduct the Battle of Big Horn in the same way he conducted the Battle of the Washita. Custer's underestimated his opponents..

He was last of his class at Westpoint, the only reason he became an officer was that because of the western campaign was so big every man was needed. But he was far from being one

He was last of his class at West Point but despite that he was apparently very popular amongst his peers. He was a maverick who, by all accounts,excelled in the civil war. He was certainly an odd fish going off solitary hunting with his command and on one occasion having to be searched for and rescued by his command after having lost his horse and being miles from it. His command was also plagued by desertion. I pass no value judgement.

He played the boss Bill Lumberg in Office Space

What a coincidence... Custer ran the battle like Ben Stiller.

Gary Cole played Custer.

I wonder what books you read, if any. But you ought to read some deep history. Gregory Michno is the most acclaimed historian of the West alive today. His writings are deep examinations that assert themselves. You ought to read "Lakota Dawn," "Lakota Noon," and also "A Fate Worse than Death," which is a catalog of documented captive narratives. Michno's analysis and commentary at the end are a must-read for those who wish to seriously examine the history of The Indian Wars. Custer's own book is well worth reading and reveals far more truth than a book and film like "Son of he Morning Star," which supports and exploits every myth about Custer and the battle that ever existed.

Lol lmao even. paleface fuxked around and found out this day.

Custer was a brave and smart military leader but he made a big mistake. Everybody makes mistakes but this one cost him and his troops their lives.

The troops he led in the Civil War realized that they were on a crusade. The troops he led out west did not want to be there. it was only a job, a way to get by because of the economic Crash of 1873. @@dendeloro

Most historians doubt that Custer was shot at the river. While White Cow Bull and oral history do talk about an officer shot at the river, it's very unlikely that soldier was Custer. It could have been any of the other officers since many were dressed similarly to Custer. If Custer was wounded at the river, he likely would have been taken to Calhoun Hill since it's a safer and way less exposed position than Last Stand Hill. Also, Indian accounts say that the soldiers who rode down to the river were on grey horses (undoubtedly Company E), which means if an officer was wounded or killed at the river, it more likely would have been 1st Lieutenant Algernon Smith or 2nd Lieutenant James Sturgis. The suicide theory is also wrong. It's certain that Custer was a right-handed man, which contradicts the suicide theory since the gunshot wound was found in his left temple. Soldier accounts also state that there were no powders burns around the wound, which is not consistent with someone who shot himself.

@@covand semantics, he ended up on Last stand Hill. He sent out Tom's, Keogh's and Calhoun's companies as he moved toward his demise. disagree about Smith and Sturgis. Have you even been to LBH Battlefield? I have 4 times and been reading about Custer for 61 years.

@@skippy-ti6jc Yes, I've been to the battlefield. And I too have been reading about Custer for many years.

Who care

Custer wanted between, to bring packs so why did he split the battalion when benteen warned him,he was the wrong man for the job.

Scholars of the battle have determined that it was about two hours long. It has been proven that Benteen had plenty of time to arrive to Custer but failed to follow orders. That is the real "mystery" of the battle.

Lol no. The battlefield covers miles of territory. It would take an hour to from one end to the other

It''t not very accurate though. It indulges in a lot of myths that have been thoroughly debunked by many scholars.

Atrocites were committed on both sides. The plains tribes took their sacred lands by committing atrocities upon the peoples who already lived there. There aren't any good guys/bad guys. Human beings of every color are generally selfish, and outright vicious where their interests are heavily involved. That's why history is so rife with tragedy.

America is paying in blood right now for these and other acts of terror beginning in 1607. Hoka He.

So true John 7861
