Good historical account of The Battle of the Washita. Custer is not too well thought of in Oklahoma and most of us feel that he got what was coming to him at Little Big Horn.
He was very lucky to escape at Washita. I grew up in the same country it occurred in and some of the old timers when I was a small boy had very good accounts of it from their fathers.
Custer was a great man and a great general who has been defamed by the liberals. In a hundred years they’ll be making up lies about chesty puller, Colin Powell, George Bush and Stormin’ Normin Scwarzkoff.
We’ll set them straight one at a time. Vietnam stemmed the communist influence. And, although this is anectotal, I have an Uncle who says that My Lai was provoked.
Do you know what the Cheyennes did in Oklahoma and in Kansas before the battle of the Washita?
They massacred, raped and took hundreds of civilians. Clara Blinn and his son were murdered by the Cheyennes. The “peaceful village” of the “peaceful chief” Black Kettle is bullshit.¨
