Default Re: Custer's Last Stand

It's been talked about from time-to-time here. I remember starting a thread which talked about this about 2-4 years or so ago. This had to do with that Documentary series that first the History Channel had and then the Learninig Channel aired. I can't remember its exact title but this series took you through famous battles whose facts were either wrong from the get go-and or through the years-were somehow changed. Anyway, this documentary series did several subjects that I watch--all using modern Archeology (SP?) techniques in order to ""see"' what ""really"" happened.

One show I remember watching, was about who shot down the Red Baron. Another had to do with the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor etc. Well, the particular program im talking about was to do with Custers Last Stand. It was amazing at what was discovered on the battlefield sites. The scientific teams logged into a computer-which fed to a satalite, and they were able to mark down where the fighting took place.

They did this by types of ammo casings found and were able to determine the movements of a number of Soldiers and Indians. Anyway, I know that topic was discussed on this site sometime ago.

Also, WELCOME BACK JOHN!!!
