I think Custer gets a bad rap from history. Unfortunately a lot of was due to his wife’s behavior after his death.
I'm not familiar with the story, please elaborate
Leading his troops into a slaughter while chasing a bunch of people who wanted to *leave* the US still makes no sense. That’s what got him a bad rap from history. Too bad this action all but negated the amazing record he had in the Civil War.
Once again we agree. “Custer’s Luck” ran out when he left those Gatling guns behind. Things could have been a lot different. It can’t be disputed, he was one brave dude. Just made a few bad decisions in the Black Hills. And then there is “Libby” who also helped stick it to Major Reno.
