That Custers troops panicked at the thought of capture is understandable. Often, suicide was preferable to being tortured, mutilated and eventually burned alive by tribes at war with US soldiers. The stories have been recorded over the years and the link below shares some of those tales.

There is a reason that both sides took things to the extreme. It was a battle for existence in the eyes of many. We have have come a long way from those days, despite the left wanting all of us to relive those battles today.

To hell with them.

"A Fate Worse Than Death" - Stories of captives of Native American Tribes

I believe this is the authors blog, but the book is available on Amazon. I have a copy. It relays the horror of torture in excruciating detail.

Long ago I read a book about the western frontier in the mid 18th century. One torture account really stuck with me. The Indians opened up your abdomen, tied one end of your intestines to a stake, and forced you to walk around the stake, winding your intestines thereupon.

Not sure if it is true, but how ghastly and horrible that would be.
