I'm from Kentucky and your delivery, cadence and vernacular reminds me so much of my school teachers growing up.

A linguist told me recently that I could never successfully hide my Appalachian accent.

Well i think you are wrong about Custer not being aware of the size of the Indian camp of warriors- They counted 800 fires from the previous moved Indian camp and also for months before the battle newspapers were quoting Sitting Bull " I have 8000 warriors and if the army comes near me we will fight " this was common knowledge in the day --- Custer did get across the River but was immediately driven back - per 7 indians interview within 1 month of battle
