For a man of only 36 years old he certainly looks about 10 years older than that. I guess his unbelievable energy and lack of sleep was catching up to him.
If Custer was "lucky" in 1868, Black Kettle had to epitomize what it means to be unlucky. He was attacked with his tribe in a surprise attack in 1864 while under treaty and truce by a renegade Colorado militia leader named Chivington; then he suffers this defeat and humiliation in 1868 by Custer.
Having someone murder your women and kids and then seize others to protect their own arse isn't a defeat of you, it's not a battle... it's a crime committed against you.
The Kitter incident is a characterized as a massacre, but the attack at Washita, where women and children were killed and mutilated, now that's a battle, and the massacre part is not mentioned, only that "40-60 warriors were killed". Nore is it mentioned that the 53 captured women and children were used as human chields against an attack and certain defeat from hundreds of Cheyenne dog soldiers. Speaking of "lucky". Also Custer was "suffering the highest desertion rate" but not a word about why, only that Custer missed his Libby so much. If this isn't a glorytale about Custer, it's obvious already 13 minutes into the lecture that it's truely subjective and selective.
Per Spellman Chivington at Sand Creek almost made Custer look like a social worker by comparison when he attacked peaceful Black Kettle's village camped where the army told them they'd be safe on Sand Creek. They were flying the American flag when Chivington's group killed everyone but a fraction who escaped. The solders cut off Indian genitals to make tobacco pouches, removed fetuses from pregnant women&took scalps of men,women&kids,hands,etc & were viewed as heroes by Denver's townsfolk. Only one company lieutenant forbade his soldiers to participate. (I may have the name wrong but I think "Lt Soule" was the the guy's name,& I think he was found dead before he could testify to charges against Chivington.)
During the Civil War, the three Union Army "Aces " Grant, Sherman, Sheridan visited total war against the civilian populations of the confederacy starting in 1863 with Grants Vicksburg Campaign and through Sherman's March to the Sea and Sheridan's destruction of the Shenandoah Valley. There is no surprise that such tactics would then be used against Indians.
What book is referenced in the lecture?? I have been interested in custer and his military achievements for two years have read “ Boots and Saddles”, “My life on the plains” and also the book on how sitting bull and custers lives parallel each other, and have seen several documentaries on crazy horse, sitting bull and LT. Gen. G.A. Custer and that final battle for G.A. Custer
He was "suffering the highest desertion rate", still not a word about why, but only about him missing Libby - and the Kidder event is a "massacre", but the "lucky" event at Washita, where "40-60 warriors were killed and 53 women and children taken hostage", now that's a Battle and no massacre, and there's no mentioning of the all Cheyenne women and children killed or mutilated, nore the hostages being used as human chields to prevent Cheyenne dog soldiers from making a certain devastating attack on the cavalry. Only 13 minutes into this lecture it's more than obvious that it's if not a total glorytale about Custer, then a very subjectiv and selective one.
Of course not. They dont want these @$$holes to look bad. Just like in school. They will never mention that. Always hiding the truth. Custard was just walking through Little Big Horn minding his own business when he was attacked.
When will the murderous Lakota people return the Regimental Colors of the 7th Cavalry to the United States Army. Then and only then will the curse and horrible suffering of the Lakota people be eased by "MY PEOPLE"
Thank you for this very informative and educational video.🙂
This is basically selective gibberish lacking the parts that put Custer in a true light.

Like an old movie. We are the good guys.

Tom Boecker, RIP.
Tom will be impossible to replace!
He didn't see nothing at all even when they told him Where it was ! ! !
Custer was betrayed.
Indians 1. USA 0. Get over it
