And Custers last stand, vietnam, etc etc. Curiously, the English do that a bit as well - Hastings, Dunkirk, The Somme, Spion Kop... The English also have a very endearing quality of having a lot of time for people who beat us fair and square - King Arthur, Rommel, Saladin, Gandhi, Washington. Washington is quite a hero here. My local bar is called “The Washington”, and features a big picture of the man.
The British forces under the Duke of Cumberland outnumbered the Scots. Two to one. The Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho vastly outnumbered the troops Custer made available for the battle. Almost ten to one
The Indians had Henry repeating rifles, the 7th Cavalry was armed with Springfield Model 1873 single shot rifles. The English had cannons and grapeshot, the Scots were armed with claymores. They had 13 cannons, but no shot or powder. One side was vastly outgunned by the other. Custer coulld have had gatttling guns, but they were declined as they were too heavy and cumbersome, and would slow him down.
Both battlefields have a ghostly feeling after the tourists have left, the wind is blowing, and you hear the small sounds of near silence as the wind blows through the grass and heather.
Where they are different is that both battles were complete , overwhelming victories for the victors. The English are still in control, however the Indian victory was short lived with the destruction of the Buffalo, the massacre at Wounded Knee, and the unceasing westward march of the emigrants on the Oregon, California, Santa Fe, and Mormon Trails.
