Dorman was not JUST executed....he was horribly tortured ....he SHOULD have not ridden against the Sioux and Cheyenne

Does the army owe INTEREST on that $102??

there is nothing in deep rovine the bodies where removed if any and, relocated

Do. You. Think. Custer. Had. Death. Wish ? He. Had. Gatling guns. He. Didn't. Use. Why. ,??

Absolutely love your videos they’re informative, yet relaxing, and just fun to listen to great sense of humor. I am well read on the subjects, but I learned something new in every single video.

Custer was up himself. Couldn't wait. Underestimated the Indian strength.

no stakes in Deep Ravine might mean noting more than nobody went down Into Deep Ravine

As far as I've ever read, it's the US gov that hinders a complete in depth study of the entire battlefield

the markers are a nightmare....I remember being at the battlefield and having a park ranger tell me that a marker for a killed warrior south of the Reno Benteen site was actually placed close to the path, RATHER THAN WHERE THE WARRIOR DIED, so that people could "see it"....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! THIS is what passes for "history" with the people who run that battlefielde!?!?

custer received WEAK "orders" at best....BUT this is not a "EITHER, OR" situation, this is a "BOTH" situation....Terry's orders were bad BUT custer didn't treat ANY of Terry's orders AS ORDERS. Few mention Tullocks Creek which custer was supposed to scout (a main purpose of cavalry) and send word to Gibbon as to what was found there....he blew that off entirely.... Because custer was NOT worried about the plains Indians escaping, he was worried about somebody else finding the Indians first or that there would be a battle where Terry or Gibbon's troops were involved AND THE BATTLE WOULD CREDITED TO THEM AS THE RANKING OFFICERS ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Anybody, custer included, who was "worried" about the Indians getting away would Not make the decisions or take the actions custer did...IT'S HIS ACTIONS THAT GIVE AWAY TO THE INDIANS THE ARMY'S PRESENCE IN THE AREA. If he had CONTINUED SOUTH TO THE HEAD WATERS AS ORDERED BY TERRY and then crossed west to the Big Horn, he would have been approaching the Indian camp from dead south CHASING THEM NORTH INTO BOTH GIBBON'S AND TERRY'S COLUMNS AND INTO A FIGHT THEY COULD NOT HAVE WON. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CUSTER DID NOT WANT. HE HAD to hit the camp, on his own and win the big victory alone for it to be his. CUSTER'S ACTIONS could have caused the scattering of the camp which is the exact situation they all claimed to be trying to avoid. NOBODY thought it possible for a US Cav regiment to be defeated by plains warriors. The army's experience with the plains indians had often consisted of charging into a sleeping camp in the dead of winter and shooting people as they emerged from their tipis. ....this time they were wrong and it was brought about by custer himself

a bunch of Cav horses survived the battle....many badly wounded which were killed by the army before leaving the area....of course there those captured by the Sioux Cheyenne warriors

Awesome front to back presentation!

Gadfly here 😟. What… Fetterman was told “ don’t go over lodge trail ridge” and he did. End of story, as far as who did what. You want to say “oh… he was an OKAY guy.” Well…opinions are plentiful 🥶😶‍🌫️

Love the detail and documentation you put into every video. I always feel like I come away smarter and more informed about the material covered favorite channel on KZfaq. Have a great day.

Fantastic video loved every second of it keep up the great work!

I recently found this channel. I enjoyed this video. Your editor does a good job. You don’t use loud sound effects. The background music is good and at a proper volume. I’m assuming you’re a team of people.

IT IS THE JOB OF AMERICAN VOTER TO KEEP AN EYE THE POWER HUNGARY POLITICIANS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE REPUBLIC ALIVE.

NOTHING LIKE OLD AMERICAN HISTORY.

And another thing Natives were involved with the Civil War from the Cherokees of NC to Seminole of Florida who helped the Confederates ⁉️😮

Hey let's say after the Civil War, Custer and Fetterman got a little cocky and underestimate the Indian. But the Natives suffered for it, it's just gave the white man a excuse to murder more for Land. Yes I'm Native American 😮

So Keogh was unmutulated? Was there a reason some of the natives destroyed the bodies while some were left untouched? Maybe they fought bravely and were left whole

I wonder if anyone suggested to Keseberg that given his past, maybe starting a restaurant wasn't the best idea? I can't think of any worse career path for a cannibal than serving food.

I'll tell you something your work on all of your videos is IMPECCABLE ! Where you got these pictures I can't imagine. THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA. PS. Keep up the good work !

Great documentary! 😊

Love the channel. I appreciate the time and research you put into each episode. Did you realize that you have a strong resemblance to Nate Champion? Anyway, you take care now.

Gonna have to set aside sime time for this. If it's like your other videos, I'm sure it'll be worth the time. 🙂

I watched a tv documentary many years ago on a guy who claimed to have survived, I don't remember many details but he described crossing streams of undrinkable water and apparently there is water so alkaline it can't be drunk. He claimed he escaped the fight and deserted and started a new life. He claimed he had to flee because his rifle got damaged in some way. He told his wife and friend many years laterv

Do a story about Ishi

That was interesting. Thank you. Especially for the good advice at the end.

Fighting for survival? They talking about Lakota or soldiers? The soldiers of which were armed to the teeth running into a village with families...

👍

Aliens. It's the only sensible explanation

There is a seemingly trivial point that lends a lot of credence to Finkel's claim. At least it does to me. Later in life, his wife came upon a newspaper article about a soldier who was seen escaping the battlefield. She read the relevent passage to him, which stated the soldier was on a black horse. Finkel responded, "That wasn't me. I was on a roan horse." If he had been lying about being at Little Bighorn, it would have been very convenient to latch onto that story as evidence for his claim. That he did not do so is compelling evidence, to me at least, that he was telling the truth.

Poor phraseology. You don’t say “there was an even more awesome thing to do than scalping…”. Humans are despicable!

Natives did not start this practice.

John Monnett's book is a must read for info on this battle. It is right on target.

Custer was a vainglorious egomaniac who had no compunction about sacrificing his own men in an effort to promote his own personal glory.

The Wyoming State Museum in Cheyenne has Carrington's Colt Model 1851 Navy revolver on display. Excellent video, very balanced. I am in the camp that believes Grummond impulsively followed the decoys, got in a hot fight, and Fetterman moved to support him.

Great video as usual. People were more used to facing hardships back then, but I imagine knowing the children would die if he gave up was Stark's best motivation to continue.

Funny when I was first looking at this picture in the earlier footage I was wondering who all survived 6:58. Another awesome video!

Another example why The Story Out West is my favorite history channel. I appreciate you efforts gentlemen. Enjoy that well deserved IPA.

Thank you for the link to my video on Ella Watson. Your presentation on the incident is one of the best I've watched or read. I just found your channel. As a practicing volunteer historian, I am very impressed with your knowledge of Wyoming events. I plan to watch more of your work. Kind Regards, Evan Green.

This is like the perfect movie to be made be really surprised nobody thought about making one about the story

OOPS my bad ! G.A. Custer . ✌️

Dead horses are not true indicators of trooper presence, so Brown's horse does not necessarily mean the rider was there too. A rider, for various reasons, can lose their mount and the horse may run off in any direction and distance before being killed or captured. Only trooper bones or other trooper-related artifacts can confirm he was there. Indian accounts will also help confirm this. But the horse remains alone is not reliable information.

Coming from an avid freshwater fisherman, why didn't they fish? They were near rivers, streams, and lakes?

Cannot confirm who is guilty is this battle, but the Native Americans were certainly up for confrontation and better prepared.

Im guessing may have died thier it would be easier to bury them in gully ground may have been easier to dig and buried .now if had some people with metal detectors could fine bullets in and around area and ground sonar may find something .and searching other places from Oklahoma

I came here from the Donner Party story re-telling. Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much for doing this. It really helped bring it alive, especially in a story of such tragedy and moral ambiguity. Some people rose to the occasion, like John Stark. Others were shown up for thieves, amongst other things. Please do more of these! Thanks again

You think the federal government would keep the grass cut short so that you could see all the grave markers. the little bighorn is probably federal government land. they keep the grass nice and cut at other battlefield grave sites. they can keep the grass nice at the little bighorn.
