It’s a hit piece on Maj. Marcus Reno and Capt. William Benteen (Reno mostly). Yes, they made major mistakes during the engagement/campaign, but so did Custer.

The quotes supposedly from Indian participants are new to me (and I’ve studied this topic most of my life). They must come from interviews Gen. Miles had with participants. That’s the only conclusion I can reach. Most Indian accounts out there are individual accounts, and have to be read in that light. Otherwise they can be very confusing and misleading.

There are some other videos on the topic available through the link. Looks like a place to spend time at for Custer enthusiasts.

I’ve toyed with reestablishing my Little Big Horn website after a couple years offline. Maybe I’ll buy a GoDaddy domain and do that. I’ll have to get the maps finished, though. That’s been the biggest hangup.

---General Miles’ comment that the failure of seven twelfths of the command failing to join the fight seems to me the most pertinent comment of all—

Hello

That’s Frederick William Benteen, in fact

Yes, it’s hitting them both, and other evidence talk against both of them.
