🏹 CUSTER BATTLEFIELD: A History And Guide To The Battle Of The Little Bighorn by Robert Marshall Utley - FULL 🎧📖 | Greatest🌟AudioBooks - “The long, tragic history of Indian warfare in the American West reached its climax with the defeat of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry in Montana’s valley of the Little Bighorn River on June 25, 1876. Although the Indians won the battle, they subsequently lost the war against the white man’s efforts to end their independent way of life. The story of the battle and its consequences is told in the following pages by Robert M. Utley in a compelling narrative of an event that has excited the imagination and provoked controversy every since it happened.” This is U.S. National Park Service Handbook 132, published in 1987. There are many sidebars of maps, photographs, and illustrations with informative text. Many - not all - of these sidebar texts are recorded at the end of the main text in each section. The author is a well regarded historian with 22 books to his credit who specializes in the American West. - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales - Genre(s): War & Military, Modern (19th C)

The Battle of the Little Bighorn, known to the Lakota and other Plains Indians as the Battle of the Greasy Grass and also commonly referred to as Custer's Last Stand, was an armed engagement between combined forces of the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes and the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. The battle, which resulted in the defeat of US forces, was the most significant action of the Great Sioux War of 1876. It took place on June 25-26, 1876, along the Little Bighorn River in the Crow Indian Reservation in southeastern Montana Territory.
The fight was an overwhelming victory for the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho, who were led by several major war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall, and had been inspired by the visions of Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake). The US 7th Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, a force of 700 men led by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, suffered a major defeat. Five of the 7th Cavalry's 12 companies were annihilated and Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew and a brother-in-law. The total US casualty count included 268 dead and 55 severely wounded (six died later from their wounds), including four Crow Indian scouts and two Pawnee Indian scouts.

Read "Lakota Noon The Indian Narrative of Custer's Defeat" by Gregory F Michno. He gathered old interview material from Native Americans who actually fought in the battle. The book is structured in five minute segments from each interview, identified by name, so you can follow the battle five minutes at a time, from different points of view, or read one person's account of the battle all the way through. Everything they taught you in school, and incidentally, the speech they give at the battlefield, is wrong.

@guyinacoffeeshop2239 2 года назад

Considering it was 1876 nobody knows what happened because nobody survived. Only truth is what happened after the ammunition train arrived. That's one of the beautiful things is the speculation.

@cravinbob 2 года назад

You cannot say either way what is correct and was is a lie simply because you were not there and if you had been there you could only say what you saw and how your mind interpreted it. After time passes the memory fades and changes. You then cling to certain aspects and what others say about what they saw will influence you as well. Recently when the battlefield burned artifacts were easily found especially cartridges and each one is unique from firing pin marks and rifle chamber scratches. Each one was a finger print and each assigned to a soldier and his movement marked by where casing were found. When and where panic set in live rounds would be found as well as fired casings. Groups of men ran and stopped to fire, ran and stopped until no more cartridges were found elsewhere. Who died and and who lived? Who won and who lost? What do your books tell you? 36 is a short life and the United States was only 100 that year. Custer was indigenous, many of his soldiers were not. Young men who had no future across the ocean came here and had no future here either. Half of them Irish and their bones revealed severe back problems from riding and also dental decay. The battlefield can tell stories too. A lace up boot was found with bones still inside. And nobody today that reads the stories can tell what Custer thought or saw or felt. Do not forget that most people unfortunately lie and exaggerate.

Fact , the horrible GAC was ordered to take no prisoners at Washita , he went against Sheridans orders and could've been court marshaled. Fact of all the military Custer was of the few who fought for the Indians fair share . I highly recommend most of you read Custer and the Cheyenne as he was truly a diplomat and not the genocidal killer most uneducated people here think Garryowen

@icewaterslim7260 2 года назад

I would guess that Custer might've had the same predicament, to some degree or another, that "Black Kettle" had at the Washita Camp in 1868 in controlling the younger warriors who would go on raids insubordinate of the elders who would seek peace. In Custer's case the soldiers raiding the Washita camp were following their interpretations of Sheridan's policy which sometimes seemed to me to be couched in the language of innuendo. The Women captured as "human shields" at Washita were reportedly on good terms with the "officers" some of which some of them knew "intimately" and there were said to be efforts to protect them, although the fact of being used as human shields doesn't ring as entirely "protective" to me. And that treatment as reported would be in sharp contrast to the indiscriminate killing of noncombatants by some of the soldiers during the raid in which Black Kettle and his wife were shot in the back and killed while fleeing.

@31terikennedy 10 месяцев назад

Custer was not ordered by Sheridan to take no prisoners. Custer returned the women and children to the reservation as further incentive for the others to return.

@drstrangelove4998 2 года назад

An excellent account. Custer would have run through his plans with Reno and Benteen at Officer’s Call. Reno’s idea he thought Custers should have followed him into the valley makes absolutely no sense. Custer’s plan was a version of Washita, a hammer and anvil tactic with Reno drawing off the warriors whilst Custer captured the women in the north. Reno and Benteen had twi years to concoct timings, and such to try to absolve themselves, and noble preferred witnesses at the enquiry who had much to lose otherwise.

@dickwisdom8033 5 лет назад

I understand your reasoning why the Gatlin guns may or may not have helped, due to over heating and black powder problems. I believe there are three main reasons why Custer was defeated and his men killed. 1. Reno's failure to stay in the wooded area and fight, also Reno's indecision. 2. Benteen's failure to pick up his pace to support Custer, even after receiving a message to do so. 3. If all soilders had Henry repeating rifles this would have had a different outcome. Some Indians had Henry repeating rifles, why didn't the soilders have them? Henry repeating rifles hold eighteen rounds before having to reloaded.

@jeffhicks8648 5 лет назад

Keep in mind Reno believed Custer would be supporting him and who is to say Custer still would not have been defeated. There were hundreds of natives. Repeating rifles were desperately needed by the 7th. Custer was also offered 3 more companies which he also turned down. Bottom line is he did not expect that many warriors in one place.

@step4024 4 года назад

Reno didn't " fail" . He was expecting the " glory hunter" to arrive, but he couldn't because this time the Indians didn't have to run to save their women, children and old from your murderous intent. Reno fought hard, but realised they would have been overcome by raging angry warriors organised by chief Gall. Gall had lost three of his children and at least one of his wives in the first stages of Reno's charge. He fought and attacked like a madman wanting revenge, mostly with his hatchet . Obviously, understandable. If this, if that you can say for eternity....it wouldn't have mattered. The Sioux and Cheyenne's,for once, had the advantage. Custer would have been destroyed no matter what. I've seen photos of chief Gall taken after the years following. I see hatred, hurt and anger in them. That he despised being forced to " follow the white man's road". This battle has become Sitting Bull's and Crazy Horses' ultimate revenge in many ways because you lot can't let the how and why of it go....I hope this gives their spirits the ultimate smile of irony.

@@step4024 You're a fugging dumbass. Why don't you get your history correct before embarrassing yourself by making idiotic and incorrect statements on a public platform like RU-vid. Listen, dimwit, Custer attacked a Cheyenne village on the Washita River, not the Wichita. And the village he attacked was not entirely peaceful. Black Kettle himself was an advocate of peace, but many of the warriors in his camp were not. What is more, you confuse the Battle of the Washita with the massacre at Sand Creek which occurred four years earlier in Colorado. By the way, how does one make a tobacco pouch out of a Cheyenne woman's genitals? You're a damn retard. After Colonel John Chivington's men massacred the Cheyenne at Sand Creek, they butchered and scalped the bodies of the Indians they slaughtered. It has been reported that one soldier, upon cutting off Chief White Antelope's scrotum, boasted how he'd make a tobacco pouch out of it. A scrotum - which resembles a sack - makes a better tobacco pouch than a fugging vagina. Only an absolute blockhead - like yourself - would think to make any kind of pouch out of a vagina. Along with your ridiculous knowledge of history, maybe you should try studying up on your human anatomy too, you fugging imbecile. At the Washita, Custer gave his men strict orders not to kill the women and children. For all of that, women and children were killed, but many historians attribute their deaths to Custer's Osage scouts. You see, the Cheyenne and the Osage were hereditary enemies and, for the most part, when it came to killing their enemies, Indians didn't discriminate; they killed women and children alike. But some white men did the same. Before he attacked Black Kettle's camp at Sand Creek, Colonel John Chivington told his men to "kill the women and children too" because "nits make lice." In contrast, Custer told his men to "capture the women and children" and, indeed, when the Battle of the Washita was over, the 7th Cavalry had around 60 captives. The problem with ignorant assholes like you is this: because of your obtuseness, and because of Custer's fame, more than likely he (Custer) is the only frontier Indian fighter you've ever heard of; as such, you use him as a scapegoat. Even though there were many Indian-haters and butcherers throughout the history of the American Frontier, George Custer serves as your fall guy because his name is so well-known. Whether you like it or not, the fact is this - George Armstrong Custer never killed an Indian woman or child in his life. You're an ignoramus and a halfwit; and as far as this discussion is concerned, you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Fugging moron.

Custer didn’t have curly blond hair at the battle, he had it cut very short at that time and wasn’t wearing his buckskin jacket. From indian accounts, they didn’t know they were fighting him.

At least some, probably most of them thought they were fighting General George Crook's command which some of them had fought with 8 days earlier at Rosebud Creek. Crook had been saved from the same fate by hundreds of Shoshone and Crow warriors that Crook had the good instincts to seek to recruit en masse as allies, most likely to compensate for his shortcomings in being able to familiarize himself with the region of his new assignment. For what faults Crook might've had as a Commander, understanding his enemy's point of view was not one of them. Crook was one of the few Cavalry officers who admitted our own shortcomings in honest statesmanship when dealing with indigenous people. Sheridan's policy of having the Cavalry Commands operate separately without regard for sharing intelligence put Custer's 7th in the dark about the huge turnout of warring Sioux at Rosebud Creek a week earlier contributing to the decisions that resulted in their disastrous defeat at the Little Bighorn. .

The difference was...the warriors were at home this time...not the old men, women and children he murdered at Wichita...When it was the warriors...it was a different story. This battle has turned into your obsession has'nt it?...the ultimate revenge of the Lakota Sioux and Cheyennes...you can't accept it and never will...the words little...big ...and horn...are indelibly marked on you forever....like the word British...even when faced with the obvious biggest evil in history...Hitler...you still were still obsessed by that word..".British"...were'nt you?...probably still are.
