Tales of the Bloody Bozeman.....

I’ve not studied Custer much. But the stories of Carrington and Red Cloud are my current interest.

The site of the battle was known as the Custer Battlefield National Monument until 1991, when the name was changed to the more politically correct Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument.

I’ve been to both Fort Abraham Lincoln and the Custer Battlefield. Both are very much worth the trip.

Its funny, when you read the biography of Crazy Horse, you come to the conclusion that the Sioux didn’t know they had done anything other than making the army mad that day.

They knew that they had had a really good day, they just didn’t realize how big the win was. According to Crazy Horse.

In Crazy Horse’s view, it was all disorganized madness that somehow, someway, by some pearl of luck, jelled into a victory.

Crazy Horse believed that it could not happen again. He was right.
