Default Re: Custer's Last Stand
I've been there twice, and I saw no place to hide.
The guy who gave the tour (when I was little) said after the troopers dismounted the Indian Nations just lobbed (umpteen) thousands of arrows over the small hills to eradicate the remainder of the troops.
The second time I went was with two Native American friends. Neither had any Love for George, and I bought a T-Shirt that had five Indians in a circle looking down and read "Custer's last vision" at the Pow Wow.
I can see how someone could get away during this (non-visual) barrage.
I did always think only one wounded horse survived.

A fun read
