Take a Stand with videos and articles on Custer's Last Stand.

New videos: "Custer's Last Prayer" and the "Reno Court of Inquiry", along with other Custer stuffs, testimonies on the Little Big Horn etc.

Visit also the French part of the website for extensive Custer paintings and pictures. A whole 2007 movie on Custer's Last Stand by the BBC is also available.

Enjoy.

What a joke. You have no idea what you’re talking about. I visited West Point, Little Big Horn, Black Hills, Yellowstone, most of the CW battlefield in the East.

And my quotes are by people studying the battle for 50 years, or more. Give something serious here. I am waiting, “historian”.

For your information, scalping was done much earlier, Indians were scalping enemies centuries before Colombus came.

Sorry, the Frenchies didn’t teach anything :-)

Well, it wasn’t just plunder. They cut off their scrotums. Disemboweled the dead. All other kinds of acts. While it may have ben customary for some, it wasn’t customary for the times. Arguments can be made for atrocities of course all around in those times, however it was considered especially heinous even in those times. But I understand what you are saying.

Knew that. All the more reason for the total anhilation of their "customs and religion".

What’s sure is that Texas, your homeland, was destroyed by Satanta’s warriors in 1868-1869, scalping, raping men and women and selling Texan children on the Mexican boarders, to make them prostitutes.

Watch the Washita story and remember that it was what Texas suffered during these times:

Indians didn’t learn at all how to scalp or mutilate bodies. They were doing that for centuries.

LOL, Texas is not my homeland. Bred, born, raised and living in the great fly-over State of Nebraska. Indian country, boy. Where the men are men and the sheep are scared.

It’s the “LOVE TEXAS” which fooled me. LOL

Nebraska has also a long history of Indian-White relations.

Semper Fi Bro

Just read your about page.

Ain’t it great to have these folks come here and tell us about our history?

Makes me teary eyed.
