The one about the survivor "Frank "Hall" Finckle"? Yes, except I fell asleep right after the discussion of how 'secret' the reality was kept from Custer's wife... did not get to that one lone survivor. It was pretty stomach turning to hear what was done to Custer's men.

Aside...while it's well known that the Indians mutilated the bodies of their opponents in warfare did you know that scalping was something Europeans brought to America? It was a means of showing that they had killed those they were paid to kill.
