That’s a lucky kid to know you. I don’t think the present generation cares what happened back then.

Check out the picture of my room on my profile page. Look at the artwork on the left side. You might recognize it.

Yep! Custer's Last Stand. I have an unfired Indian cartridge from the battlefield. No, it wasn't removed illegally. It was given to a friend by Don Ricky, park ranger, back in 1951. It was found on a ranch bordering the battlefield. My buddy gave it to me a couple years ago in recognition of my life-long interest in the battle. He spent a lot of time at the battlefield back in those days. Along with the cartridge is a notarized description of its discovery and provenance.

My office has mostly paintings by Charles Russell, O. C. Seltzer, Bev Doolittle, and a framed copy of Gen. Alfred Terry's orders to Custer, prior to Custer beginning his march down the Rosebud. I don’t think the present generation cares what happened back then.

Not only don't they care, they have little clue.
