I like the circled areas..it eliminates guessing
Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. I thought it would help, I watch some videos and wonder which way am I looking and what area are they talking about, thanks for letting me know it helps. I hope that you have had the chance to watch some of the other videos in the History Adventures series.
Really appreciate the time you took to include so many details and the layout of the movement of the soldiers and warriors. Very good thank you
this was good, well have to watch it a few more times
Well done !!!

An "OUTSTANDING" video here. You did a great job and I thank you for your time and effort.
For many years through school, we were taught how much of a hero and brave man Custer was. After I learned much more about him in later years, I lost all respect for that man. There are books out there from some of the Indian people that can tell a whole different story about Custer, but those books are hard to find. He was a cruel, brutal man to the Indian women and children, not to mention the atrocities he did with the Indian men. He was one of the people who began scalping Indians and selling their scalps. Indians were blamed for that and called savages. He is no longer any kind of a brave hero in my book and it appeares he got back allot of what he dished out. It's a horrible shame so many other real young men and horses had to die with him. I had met a wonderful man who was a full blooded Sioux, who's grandfather fought in that war. I spent several months with him and his family. "AMAZING PEOPLE". He passed away at the age of 96 back in 1992 if I remember correctly. Those Indian people were treated horible!!!

I am so happy to see your comment, I too am far from being a fan of Custer. It's great, he got what was coming to him, I just wish it had been sooner. Yes, some of the other men didn't deserve what happened, but I really believe most of them were already "poisoned" by Custer's beliefs and were not the nicest people around.
I am happy to know there are other people who think as I do.
Thank you
I mean Custer definitely wasn’t a good guy but the whole noble savage narrative is horse 💩

1. "we were taught how much of a hero and brave man Custer was"
Custer was, in fact, a Civil War Hero. He was certainly brave. Whether you like him or not or think he is immoral, is a different story. It takes bravery to lead 100s of cavalry charges from the front, whether you like the man or not.
2. "He was a cruel, brutal man to the Indian women and children, not to mention the atrocities he did with the Indian men."
Kindly expand on that. While certainly Custer was a hard edged man of the times, he was not without sympathy for the Indians. There is no record of him personally being brutal and cruel to the Indian women and children, even at the Washita. He could have had them all slaughtered, but he took captives instead, as per orders.
3. "He was one of the people who began scalping Indians and selling their scalps."
Custer did not begin that. Carbon dating of skulls show evidence of scalping by native americans as early as 600 AD. 1240 years before Custer was born.
The process started 200 years before Custer. The Connecticut and Massachusetts colonies offered bounties for the heads of Indians, and later for just their scalps, during the Pequot War in the 1630s. As for him scalping Indians, well, Indian warfare involved scalping. Inter-tribal warfare involved scalping of opposing tribes men women and children, as well as mutilation.
4. "Indians were blamed for that and called savages."
Indians were blamed for scalping each other? Indians DID scalp each other. I suggest you look up the Crow Creek Massacre.
5. " I had met a wonderful man who was a full blooded Sioux, who's grandfather fought in that war. I spent several months with him and his family. "AMAZING PEOPLE""
Did his grandfather participate in the Sioux attack at Massacre Canyon against the Pawnee, Nebraska on August 5, 1873, slaughtering 100s of men, women and children who were hunting buffalo? Did he participate in driving the Crows and Shoshones out of their lands, because the Sioux wanted more land?
Custer certainly had many flaws and made many questionable mistakes and actions, that he should be judged for....but that does not mean you should just peddle lies about him.
You need to educate yourself instead of just believing everything....either from pro-Custer types, or anti-Custer types. You seem very easily led by extremist propaganda, no matter which side it emanates from.
Perhaps you should read "My Life on the Plains".
AS Professor Danielle Johansson writes, in reviewing the book:
While Custer’s memoir consistently reflects racist and colonialist ideology, oversimplifying
Custer’s perspectives compromises the pursuit of a comprehensive understanding of both history
and narrative. As Utley and Washburn write, accounts of the Indian Wars that aim to document the
Indian perspective sometimes produce unbalanced accounts that assume a simplistic division between
whites as “exploitative conquerors” (Utley and Washburn 2002, p. vi) and Indians as “romantic,
innocent victims”
Excellent presentation.... It really made it understandable to see how the events & actions transpired along the timeline of the battle --- and the troop movements...

I thought that Keogh’s wing were actually putting up a pretty good, well executed and organized defense before the horse holders were put at risk and a company had to be dispatched to protect them. At this point everything started to fall apart for the left wing, the company was compelled to return to the rest of the wing, without being able to accomplish their task and then over ran. Captain Keogh was found dead with his aid and guidon holder surrounded trying to protect him.
@@robertschultz6922 When you are walking the area you can see and understand so much more, once there was a breakdown it must have been complete chaos.
Excellent presentation

As A Native American or Indigenous male I always laugh when I think of Sam Elliott's character calling Custer a P.ssy.Great Video Oganalii.I enjoy your videos.❤
Thanks for watching the videos and making a comment. I really appreciate the feedback.

@@Bumpyi64 Love it, thanks for Sharing Sam Elliott is a great actor.I am a Son and nephew of four Vietnam Veterans.Osiyo Oganalii from Tennessee.
But Custer wasn't a p*ssy tho. He was a soldier following orders, same as Plumley. "We were Soldiers" was about the 7th cavalry invading lands belonging to others. No different than Custer.
Not to stop and help a wounded comrade is the essence of cowardice
Excellent, really well done

Excellent 😊
Thanks for watching and making a comment. I hope you have had a chance to watch some of the other Little Bighorn Battlefield videos. I have a bunch of other videos in the History Adventures series. Thanks again.
Good job.

6:50 that sign is where the point is? Seems like they would go up on that hill to the right which has a better view point
Thanks for watching and making a comment. I was just using the park service signs as reference points, plus they really don't want you just walking around the hills. More than likely they did use higher ground for better views. Again thanks for watching and I hope you had a chance to watch some of our other videos.
drj.r.cooper2493: Well said. I did not know Custer was killed with his pistol. Suicide?? His brother, apparently a brilliant tactician and America’s first double Medal of Honor winner was mesmerized by his brother. Cost him his life. You have intelligently proven the single most important rule of war: Don’t go directly in with 300 soldiers to surround 3000 enemy.
Custers didn’t commit suicide, Tom Custer wasn’t in charge
There is zero proof whatsoever that Custer was "killed with his own pistol"
dr j.r cooper is a kook and the OP is gullible.
What consequences if any from the little amount of target practice the troopers received in the time prior to the battle? Where they able to put up a strong enough defense to the warriors? I understand that the troopers only were authorized a few rounds of actual live rounds for target practice every month and it might not have been sufficient to keep the natives away
Before I looked into this I always thought Benteen and Reno were just bystanders who could have saved Custer, but in fact the were just as much in the action as he was but had time to create a defensible position, which Custer could not. This video makes it clear what was happening.
Custer's attack at the river was feint to relieve pressure on Reno and Benteen causing the Indians to break off and go after Custer. This was Benteen's opportunity to attack the Indians from behind attacking Custer. Weir eventually took his command to join Custer and made it as far as Weir's Pointe when Benteen came out and brought them back. This proves that Benteen could have obeyed his orders.
@@31terikennedy The tactics went out of the window once Reno's battalion were driven back. Attacking in the first place, never mind with a divided force, without knowing the strength of the enemy was rash, and quickly became a struggle for survival. Benteen's orders were contradictory - he could not have come on and bring the packs at the same time.
@@FiveLiver You divide and maneuver on offense to increase the enemy's lines of expectation so he can't concentrate at the point of your attack. Like the Washita, it was supposed to be a simultaneous four prong attack. Reno disobeyed orders by prematurely beginning his attack. Benteen was at the Washita and knew Custer's tactics. What was problematic for Benteen was Weir was at the Washita and also with Benteen's so-called scout to the left. Weir realized that something was terribly wrong. The main objective was to neutralize Indian mobility by destroying and capturing their horses. No horses, no raiding, the reason the Indians left the reservation in the first place..
@@31terikennedy Whatever Custer's tactics, they were inadequate for the numbers of men he had with him. Benteen could not have saved Custer.
@@FiveLiver Wrong. The Indians had no command and control. They were basically an armed mob. Think Mogadishu, everybody had guns, shooting from every direction. The LBH was like the Washita, both had large concentrations of Indians and Custer was very successful at the Washita, using the same tactics. The LBH failed because of the treachery of Reno and Benteen with the backing of Grant.
Custer was no hero
If Foley had got out we would have found out what happened. Instead they put up a statue to the guy chasing and trying to cut his balls off.
Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. One little change and how different history would be for sure. I hope that you have had the chance to watch some of the other videos in the History Adventures series.
You make it complicated..Custer took a force, hit an enemy camp, pulled back to a hillside and got overrun 🇺🇸
You make it complicated..Custer took a force and got massacred.
A great native American victory. Too bad there were not more of them.
They had no chance and more victories would have made their demise much quicker with more deaths.
Do you think as some say General Custer was shot and dies of his wounds before " Last Stand Hill "
Custer killed himself with a new 41 cal. Colt .
@garycates9911
Like to be aware of this research results , not to insult or take away from you . I've been there many time and most of Custer history sites .
Read the book , " Custer's Fall " .
I am a Native American CUSTARD GOT WHAAT HE DESERVED INDIAN WARRIORS WAS takeing up for their familey
Quite true and he was warned too.
Crow Indians liked Custer. Sioux were on Crow land and were bullies. This was only one battle
You’re a white person who got told they’re grandma was a Cherokee princess. You’re from the same tribe as Elizabeth warren.
Not all soldiers were dead when mutilated.
Thanks for watching the video and making a comment. I have read a few of the stories in books that describe what happened after. I hope that you have had the chance to watch some of the other videos in the History Adventures series.
U never attack women and children.
Outmanned, out gunned, out fought, poor tactics, untrained immigrants soldiers, on and on
@scaredy-cat , Well said, and not to mention that Custer’s soldiers were also sleep deprived and completely exhausted too !!! What a terrible way to go and all in the name of Glory for Custer and his ego !!!!!!!
I ever check out the battlefields on Guam?
I would like to go, in the early 80s our Army plane spent a half day there but never left the airport. Heading to Peleliu for the 80th this September and will be stopping in Guam but not enough time to do much.
@@SFRProductions much battlefields..can't wait for the next upload
The women mutilated the bodies!
How anybody can put an American flag next to a tombstone is beyond my imagination. Those soldiers were intruders who took away the land and the freedom of people who lived there forever. The Indians were the real heroes. Knowing that they are fighting against a superior force and ultimately will not succeed.
Yes that’s true what you say . Demonic what Europeans did to all Indian tribes .
The Sioux were on Crow land, and it was the Crow who wanted the military to be sent in to move them off their land because they were enemies that hated each other.
@@striperking6083It's also demonic what Indians did to the people who lived there before them. Indians are like all human beings who have ever lived. They fight they steal they cheat on their wives they are just the same as Europeans. The thing that devastated Indians was something God had control of. Diseases. So go blame God if you dare because if God didn't have plans for what happened it never would have.
I agree, but you see the US has a reputation to award criminals
So true. In the 1770s the Crow Tribe lived in the Black Hills until the Sioux took their land.@@praetoriandorn3154
