Visiting any battlefield can be a spiritual experience, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument preserves the site of the June 25th and 26th, 1876, 'Battle of the Little Bighorn,' near Crow Agency, Montana, in the United States. The battlefield is also known as "Greasy Grass" to the Lakota Sioux, Dakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and most other Plains Indians.

''Crook's command had been all but wiped out........'' A column of around 1300 men, with only roundabout 70 casualties (killed and wounded), is considered all but wiped out? Rather Crook ran off, shocked and too embarrassed to inform Terry. Had Terry known about the battle of the Rosebud, his plans would have changed, with no last stand for Custer in June 1876.

As a student of this battle, I would say this is a very good, even-handed description of what happened. A few minor errors -- #1. Dorman's first name was Isaiah, and it was lieutenant Benny HODGSON, not Hodgkin or whatever he said. #2. Custer was NOT the youngest Union general in the Civil War -- that distinction belongs to Galusha Pennypacker. #3. The description of the battle taking only as long as it takes a hungry man to eat his dinner was said by Two Moons. It seemed that way to HIM because he joined the battle late, on Last stand Hill. Otherwise the overall engagement had already been underway for at least an hour before he got into the fight.
@Defender78
@Defender78 5 ай бұрын
I always wondered about that, the whole quote about the fight lasting as long as it takes a hungry man to eat his dinner, I always believed that to be an embellishment or just a triumphant comment about the duration of the battle, but from all accounts that we've read and portrayals and movies and just being a student of history and of battles and judging movements of the troops in the Indians along a mile wide or more arena, over hills, along a river, etc. It just seems logical that it would take more than at least a half hour for hundreds of troops and thousands of Indians to move about, so I was always suspecting that quote was not accurate, I mean no battle in history has ever lasted for 10 minutes which is about how long it takes to scarf down a plate of dinner... But nevertheless it has persisted but maybe not taken literally, but thank you for this wonderful insight I've always wondered about the origin of that phrase and now you've given weight behind it Which seems reasonable to believe, hopefully you have a link or a source for that, it would be wonderful to read about that individual who joined the battle late and it would seem briefer in duration from his perspective Which seems reasonable to believe. Thank you for this insight of wild West knowledge By the way this narrator Charles is incredible, this is from 1999 and hopefully he's still involved in the little big horn societies and tour guide circuit

He returned to Goose Creek (South) to resupply since his troops had expended some 10000 rounds inflicting insignificant casualties on the Sioux. He could NOT communicate his move because none of the columns could establish or maintain communication,

At the End the Narrator Says & Warns of the Skeptical reactions People will take of it. That was something I Personally could agree with. As we all know there were No Survivor's from the Battle of Custer's immediate Command? Thus the Crucial Decisions which were made that Day were all Speculative in Nature & just Theorized by the Evidence the Authorities could Uncover after the Battle. As For Curly's Recollections? They were never Officially Recorded, apparently & were dismissed as just Nonsense by the Officers in Terry's Command. Thank You for Sharing the Documentary with US.

Vegetation of all kinds would be well over grown. .dividing troops. Single shot guns. No swords gattling guns. Soldiers who needed more training and not knowing strength of enemy. Officers of two of the divided troops who you could not count on. And most of all the rosebud troops who retreated the 3rd column that never showed up. Mistakes all around

At no other time in plains Indian wars did any U.S. troops run into this many Indians. Custer probably ran into a large force spread out along the Washita in Winter, but once he took the Village he attacked, and had about 150 hostages, he was not threatened. Several of Custers officers were very hostile or indifferent. But about half were close friends or very supportive. Oh and Terry was a whole day late than the day he was supposed to be there, he showed up on 27th, not 26th.

Excellent detailed narrative. Thank you. In today’s world of drones, it would be wonderful if the narrative could be accompanied with real images of the real battlefield. There are white grave markers scattered throughout the battlefield, located where 7th cav soldiers died and had been temporarily buried. The markers give us a haunting sense of how the battle flowed. Some markers are by themselves, others are closely clustered. The maps used in this video are not very helpful, and the inserted stock footage doesn’t add anything. But… the narrative plus drone images in support of the narrative would be perfect.

According to late Shelby Foote, the war between states really went on too long. Union held the upper hand in terms of manpower, supply, & industrial resources, but didn't take the Confederacy seriously at first. They sorta "toyed" with them instead thinking they'd give up & go home. That wasn't gonna happen! As with all wars the south wasn't so much as out fought as it was via attrition. Too many men, too much equipment. It was all losses they couldn't sustain or replace.

I'll second the best narrative crediting. I'll add to the Lakota and Cheyenne witnesses that thought they were again fighting Crooks command, my observance of the taunts during Reno's Rout that "They should've brought their Crow and Shoshone warriors with them" (assuming they meant in the numbers that Plenty Coup and Washakie brought to Crook) . Reno seemed in need of a contingency plan for delegating to a subordinate a quick rear guard action like Ranald Mackenzie.always seemed to have. There might be good reason though for Marcus Reno to fear delegating any responsibility to any capable subordinate. Reno also seemed in need of qualifications for the task that he'd been delegated with.

1. As per several historians, because of Custer's alienation from the Grant Administration, Gen. Terry took command of the Fort Lincoln column instead of Custer, who was to have originally commanded that column. Custer was allowed to lead the US 7th Cavalry, which was part of the column. Estimates of the number of warriors range from 6,000 to 8,000. 2. On his scouting assignment, Benteen did not command the pack train, which trailed a few miles behind on a separate trail and was under the command of Lt. McDougall. When Benteen finally joined Reno, the pack train was moving slowly and arrived at Reno's position at an unspecified time. 3. Custer's body did not escape mutilation. All of the soldiers' bodies were found stripped and mutilated. 4. The theme music is taken from Antonin Dvorak's symphony, 'From the New World'.

Crook's command was not "...all but wiped out..." Their casualties were relatively light considering the large number of Sioux and Cheyenne involved. They *might* have taken massive casualties if not for their Indian scouts who gallantly launched spoiling attacks, allowing the Army to get its act together. Crook had not faced a stand-up fight like this before from the Apaches... The Apache were fierce fighters, but this type of massed assault alien to their nature. Crook was uncharacteristically unnerved...both by the size of the assault...and his having moved this far North of his supplies...especially the ammo reserves. He backed way off...then essentially went fishing. If he had rushed his supplies forward and then moved North with great speed...history might have been far different. But the level of casualties in his unit were relatively minor compared to what the 7th would incur... YP

Chief Gall MAY Have been the one who beat Tom Custer so savagely. That Tom Custer was beaten so is without question. That happened either because Gall recognized him because they were enemies before the battle OR because Tom Custer himself was a savage fighter that he put up that much resistance so they beat him like that because he wouldn't quit.

The Sioux and Cheyenne knew there were soldiers out there. They'd just fought Crook eight days earlier. They were aware that the Terry and Gibbon columns were out there following their trail for the past three weeks. The US government had informed them six months earlier that soldiers would be coming unless they returned to the reservation. Maybe if you don't want to put your family in harm's way you shouldn't bivouac them with the fighting troops when you know your enemy is coming. And those other Indians who helped the cavalry were Crow. They were the only Indians fighting for their land that day. The LBH took place on Crow territory which the Sioux invaded.

if Custer wasn't hit, he would never stop his reckless charge to his death and his men. He would have charged the village. He was SHOT to the river, this explain why all his tin soldiers scattered all over the hills and decimated by the Indians. Do not believe the called "historians" LIES.

Custer and his men should have stayed on there horses,they would have got away,these stupid skirmish lines were waste of time,that's how they were over run,if it was me that's what I would have done ,stayed on horse back and kept the battalion together.

Sitting Bull spanked the hell outta Custer. And he deserved it. If you read up on your history, Custer viewed it as getting another feather 🪶 in his hat. He had his sights set on the prize at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave as his reward for all of his achievements. Strong evidence is showing that Custer committed suicide rather than be taken prisoner and tortured.

Sitting Bull didn't do crap during the battle. He was an old man and in the rear with the gear acting as a cheerleader to encourage the young men to go fight. There was no great overall strategy for the Indians. They didn't fight in organized commands like the cavalry. Warriors fought as individuals or in small groups. And if you knew your history you'd realize that the Democratic convention to nominate a presidential candidate was taking place the same week as the battle occurred. There would have been no way to get the news back East in time to nominate Custer. The story about presidential ambitions came from one scout. In reality, the Custers had not had good experiences when dabbling in politics and Libbie Custer in particular was dead set against getting involved in politics again.

It is possible Custer’s brother Tom shot Custer who was already shot in the shoulder. Many soldiers planned suicide or suicide pacts if they were about to be overwhelmed by Indians. The 28 in the gully were running and riding away in ‘panic’. They thought the gully walls offered some protection which Last Stand Hill did not.

Wrong. Not the biggest defeat of U.S. Army at the hands of American Indians. That honor belongs to Eastern woodland Indians in Ohio, 85 years earlier. I'm only in 2 minutes and already big mistakes have been made. I'm cringing to hear the rest.

They, the cavalry, had envisioned women and children running they could easily shoot in their backs. Imagine their surprise when warriors arrived and proceeded to annihilate them. I’ll bet some I didn’t sign up for this thoughts arose.
