Down here on the Little Bighorn, celebrating the 146th anniversary of the Custer battle in Eastern Montana, Custer lost it again.
Maybe next year…

You'd think one of these years he'd try a different strategy.

Deadlines and commitments, what to leave in, what to leave out...

Maybe we could meet there and have an Indian Taco at the trading post… Some beautiful country on the Crow Rez on the Wyoming border near there. I was talking to crow guide and he advised the Crows still liked and respected Custer.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Custer was after the Sioux and Cheyenne, enemies of the Crow…

Shrapnel: Been there many times (10?) always enjoyed the oft changing presentations and facilities.
Was there with a Hunting partner a couple years ago and he opted to go on the then new "Indian Bus Tour" that lone infidels could not partake of without payment.
Anyway he paid the $10.00 and went on the hour tour and got the "Indian perspective" and thought it was so-so but was brimming with "chipontheirshoulder-itis".
Last time I was there I had to fetch a park ranger as a Rattlesnake had curled up under the lip of a rear door on the cement walkway and children were in the area.
The park ranger (or whatever they are?) got a 5 gallon bucket and a rake and scooped the Rattler up and into the bucket and walked it down the hill about a hundred yards and tipped the bucket over!

Leave it to me to be the one with the weird opinion. The Injuns that fateful day were just doin' what anyone does, fight to win. The Army was f...ked before they ever left town. By who you axe? By the dirty politics of the bureaucracy-good old boy crowd of Springfield Armory, insisting on the continued use of an obsolete military weapon and even worse ammunition known to be totally unuseable after ten rounds on a hot day. Sharps, Spencers, Remingtons, Peabodys...exported to Europe by the thousands. A proud day for the Army procurement program and arsenal, 210 blue coated bodies, but by God we saved a lot of money with the trapdoors.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

This time Custer tried to cheat by using M16's but the Indians switched to expanding broadheads and chewed them apart.

I'm going to see that Team Blue is issued falling-block 6.5 Creeds for next year, conditional on Custer putting his yellow hair up into a man-bun.

I was poking around in that country 3 weeks ago per some things that sharp.. said. Good time, interesting things found. Very interesting when you visit the Horn.
I would highly endorse anyone to visit.
