The History Channel many years ago had an Oli Stone tin-foil hat episode where Grant was jealous of Custer so he gave his intel to the Indians and had him whacked.

I’m somewhat curious as to why President Grant, in the last months of his Presidency, would be jealous of Custer? To me, something does not add up.

I saw one of those shows about the Battle of the Little Bighorn on History Channel also. Some pinhead “expert” had come to the conclusion that all of the soldiers didn’t fight on the hill as is always depicted but that they all ran away down the draws and washes like a bunch of cowards. He came to this conclusion because that’s where he found many empty cartridge casings. I’m no “expert” but I have spent some time out looking for arrowheads. If you throw artifacts like that on the side of a hill and come back 150 years later to find them, only a pinhead would look for them on the side of the hill where they were thrown. It’s a weather/gravity thing. The clown on History Channel didn’t seem very familiar with the phenomenon.
