My distant cousin, 1st Sergent Michael Kenney of F Troop died right below Custer on Last Stand Hill. We live 50 miles from the battlefield, definitely hallowed ground for all involved. Nice footage.

Love the drone footage. It allows you to see the topography of the battlefield so well. It gives a better understanding of what Custer and the 7th Cav were facing.

Hi, my name is Jason Robinson tattoo artist out of Lebanon Ohio. We was there the 23rd 24th and 25th. Great time we visit lotta other stuff there but I tattooed on my leg the letter that general Custer had talk to him Ben 10 to come quick, bring packs big village, a tattoo that on the inside of my leg at the spot where he dictated the letter that was sent to Benteens great experience great time did the Crow tour of the Battlefield and did mounters as well. Had a great time this video rocks.

Thank You! I have been to both, just passing through. I will be back out West in May and June, so more content is coming about this period, including possibly the Nez Perce conflict. I was so hooked on The Battle of the Bulge that I lost my way on this content.

Excellent video but I wish it could have been longer, maybe the route Custer rode in to the site and approx where Lone Teepee was. I was there in May on my fourth visit, unfortunately it rained cats and dogs and couldn’t do deep ravine

Thank you for this. I have a hard time visualizing the terrain from the descriptions in books. I also like the native dance music . I would think the encampment after the battle would have been adrenaline filled and somber both. A horrific day even for the victorious ?

@@giuseppe4909 Sure, in the context of something they could never have, it's a waste of time....but it is not a waste of time to ponder or speculate the course of the battle, had Custer kept the regiment together, or any other interesting possibilities. Pondering changes to the scenario and potential results (of course without the absurd, "Gee, what if he had an F22 Raptor") is rather interesting. Of course there was modern recon technology (1 man hot air balloons etc) that could have been brought along and might have helped....they were used in the Civil War to great effect. Different weapons for the cavalry (Spencer repeater rifles, winchester repeaters, etc) It is interesting to ponder and not a waste of time if you do so realistically within context.

@SmokinLoon5150 Жыл бұрын
Haha... but in reality I don't think much could have been done. The odds were too much in favor of the Natives over the cavalry (at least 10 to 1 over Custer's detachment). If they would have brought artillery or Gatlin guns it would have made no difference, Custer was too far off for either to help. The only thing that would have changed the battle would have been for Custer to immediately have attacked the Native group fighting Reno (performing the "hammer and anvil" attack and not have gone too deep and got cut off), and Benteen being there set up and able to use the superior range of the Springfield carbines (dismounted of course). Otherwise... it is what it was.

@PeterRezendes Agreed. Hindsight is 20/20, and the tactic worked previously so it is understandable why he thought to do it again (flank to rear to capture non-combatants to get warriors to stop fighting).

It really annoys me how they just build modern roads destroying the peace and authenticity of these battlefields. They should be left exactly how they were. If people want to go and visit how about you get out your car and walk or if it helps visitor numbers ride a horse
