As Fox shows, Indian accounts could (and did) comport PERFECTLY with his interpretation. Moreover, some Indians, depending on their personality, what they thought the white interviewers wanted to hear, and tribal/cultural background, said one thing, others said another. It also depends (as Hollow Horn Bear's comment shows) on WHICH troops they were referring to, at what point in the battle their comments were made.

Fox's account places these, and others, within the timeline.

no, Fox’s thesis is not only wrong, but is a careful fraud. Michno’s “Lakota Noon” showed that the Indians never supported an overall disintegration, as show the accounts above. Moreover, if put in a timeline (something not done by Fox, who gathers all the accounts and use the “run away” ones while throwing away all the others), Indian accounts tell this story:

1) very organized resistance

2) tactical disintegration near the end with the Last Stand
