Thanks for the info. Truly am engrossed by this era of history. Also spend a lot of time reading about Custer at The Little Big Horn.
I never quite understood the Little Big Horn fight until going there in person and seeing the terrain.
One of my great great grandfathers was an Army First Sargeant-—Infantry——at the time and it would sure be fun to time machine back and converse in person about what the scuttlebutt had to say about the battle.
I am a huge Custer fan, lol. I seem to have a thing about charismatic men who lead failed charges! I love R.E. Lee, as well, and his charge (well, Pickett’s) bombed out too.
