Little Big Horn is an impressive battlefield and I was lucky enough to have visited it. When I was there, the staff were remarkably non-political and told an even-handed story of a clash of civilizations.

Having seen several of the Northeast Revolutionary War, Virginia and Pennsylvania Civil War, and World War One battlefields, Little Big Horn, perhaps because it was one battle, was one of the most informative battlefields I have visited.

The thread is looking great. You must be putting a lot of time into it.
AntiJen ..... please don't remove me from your list. Sorry to say I'm not a Georgia Peach. I visited Georgia once and thought that Savanah was lovely. I'm a Northern California Peach. LOL (Well, I had a cat named Peaches.)
I hope someday to visit the Little Big Horn site.
Without Veterans, there would be no America.

Then you should support at least a competition for Senate Majority Leader and get someone else, perhaps Inhofe, in as Majority Leader. Trent has tried to appease and he hasn't learned it doesn't work note his not taking power immediately.

The worst ever defeat at the hands of the Indian's was at Fort Recorvery, Ohio in 1783. Washington didn't hear of the defeat for nearly 5-months. 600 regular soldiers (the entire standing US Army after the continential army stand-down) marched out of Cincinnati Ohio past Dayton, Greenville and up what is now State Route 49 to the Walbash River Fork to attack an Indian village. The noisy white men, with accompanying 300 scouts, irregulars, and family members/camp followers numbered about 1500 people. My grandmother's farm holds the remains of many fallen, never buried soldiers.... I dug some up as an eight year old boy with grandfather in the bottom of the barn which has stood since 1814.... At my father's boyhood, farm they camped the night before the battle and there is a stone marker. In total, about 300 whites survived the slaughter. In 1792, Mad Anthony Wayne retook the field on the way to the Battle of the Fallen Timbers!

Custer married into the family via a sister-in-law, so I've always wondered if having passed the hollowed ground of another Indian defeat might have not influenced the other:)
