If that were true, the Army would never have let that story out. They did let it out that his brother Tom was cut all to pieces by the squaws.

That didn't happen. Much of what is talked about is rumor and gossip. You can't rely on the Indian's accounts without some real investigation, as they had nothing to lose by embellishing their stories.

There are some good books that cover Custer and the battle, but most of the books are written by people that read other books...
