You know quite well what I was saying. No, no prisoners, wounded soldiers fell into the hands of the Indians and then were tortured to death. In fact the last part of Custer’s people who were killed appear to have dismounted and formed a prone firing line in some broken ground on the nw sided of the battlefield and fought to the last man. All remains were in rough firing line and expended cartridge cases were scattered among the bodies. Wise ass remarks like yours are not appreciated. There are more than enough really stupid posts on this thread as is.
“”””Little Big Horn was a battle. Ltc Custer and five companies of the 7th were killed to the last man fighting, not being massacred.””””
This sounds like a real massacre, not collateral damage by a renegade unit at the enemy’s supply/support system.
“Another officer recalled that “eyes had been torn from their sockets, and hands . . . and arms, legs, and noses had been wrenched off. Many had their flesh cut in strips the entire length of their bodies, and there were others whose limbs were closely perforated with bullets, showing that the torture had been inflicted while the wretched victims were still alive.”
