Yeah, I know. That was in the late 80’s when the limit was 10 per each angler. A boat with 3-4 guys could catch enough to feed 20 people.

Rush has a series of books out with a time traveling horse named Liberty.

They think Custer was killed early.

Also, the cartridges showed the Sioux had lots of rifles—better than the cavalry-issued carbines.

No. Turns out the graves were placed later. Terry did not mark the spots where they fell.

I think they were all moved a second time (seems Fox said that). Indian accounts are not reliable. Best record is the location of the cartridges.

If you ever want to torture a 13 year old girl, take her to the Little Big Horn battle site. It was hot. It was dry. And could not have cared less.

Now, 15 years later she talks about how much she should have paid attention on that trip. Except at LBH. She still talks about how much she hated that place.

What strikes me about the place is how vast and empty it is, even with the visitors center there. Grave markers randomly scattered about in all directions.

Must have been total chaos and hell on earth there for the 7th Cavalry on the day of the battle.

I thought the title of the thread was "make custard great again."

Cute.

Italian bakeries do the most obscene things to custard.

I like mine simple, with a bi of found nutmeg sprinkled on the top. :-)

Or loaded with grape nuts. Local diner serves up a mean grape nuts pudding!!

It might sound nasty, but it’s custard with a layer of grape nut cereal. A real treat!!

“The history books that schools foist on them are riddled with anti-American narratives and explicitly unpatriotic themes that leave them questioning the value of being an American at all.”

The reason this situation exists is because fat-ass, so-called conservatives are too damn lazy to get off their fat, worthless asses and show up en masse at a schoolboard meeting and read these leftist bureaucrats the riot act. These Mammon-worshiping conservative frauds are more interested in remodeling their kitchens, barbecuing ribs and counting money.

These gutless, self-loving weenies are the reason why public schools suck.

>>Yes there was a last stand where Custer and dozens of his Troopers died together near the top of that Hill. In fact there were several last stands, scattered across several other nearby hilltops.<<

Here are interesting facts most who comment on the Little Big Horn debacle usually do not know. Custer’s brother and cousin were also killed in the battle. His brother, I think his name was Thomas, had his head crushed and was identified only by a tattoo on his arm. Also, he was the first soldier ever to be twice awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor (for action in the Civil War, not at the LBH.
