🚨 PART TWO: • Custer vs. Crazy Horse... 🚨
“Come on, you Wolverines!”
The story of the American Indian Wars of 1862-68 is an enthralling tale of hubris, politics, recklessness, and the merciless assault of industrialisation and modernity on an old world, nearly extinguished. An immense tragedy, it is also a story of great adventure, with formidable heroes and villains on both sides. No two figures encapsulate this better than the enigmatic, strategically brilliant Lakota war leader, Crazy Horse, and his foil on the side of the United States government, cavalry commander George A. Custer, whose daring, panache and egotism has immortalised him in the annals of American history. From the bloody battles of the American Civil War and the snake-pit of Reconstruction politics, to his ruthless campaigns against the Native American and First Nation peoples of the Great Plains, and his ensuing, mysterious demise, Custer’s life is a thrilling mix of heroics, brutality, madness and gore.
Join Dominic and Tom as they delve into the thrilling American Indian Wars, and the life of George A. Custer. From his flamboyant and salacious youth, to his daredevil performance fighting for the Union army, and his entry into the fascinating world of nineteenth-century American politics.

Thank you for highlighting Ely Parker. He composed and wrote the Treaty at Appomattox Courthouse even with all the West Pointers attending. As a child, Parker was in Canada where British soldiers ridiculed his reservation accent. Parker determined, as a child, to master the language. The Treaty at Appomattox Courthouse is his dissertation. Parker made his supposed remark to Lee about being American when Parker couldn't be a US citizen. He initially wanted to study medicine but was refused because he wasn't human.

@belaboured 4 месяца назад

Discussion of Custer's military virtues reminds me of other similar controversies, e.g., Omar Bradley vs. George Patton, or even the battlefield brilliance or lack of it of Edward IV. Edward always did the same thing, essentially: outmarch his opponents to force battle on them when they didn't feel ready, then lead from the front on foot, relying on his brother Richard and others to take care of the flanks. But that will to force battle is an absolutely key to winning. Trying to be clever isn't. Grant understood this. If he couldn't convince his subordinates of the plausibility of more complex moves, he would abandon them and stick to the frontal assault. People have to be all-in to win, so keeping the plan simple is usually best.

@danielcrotty3598 Месяц назад

It was during the Civil War that Custer developed his taste for Trophies. As Colonel Charles R Lowell told Custer he’d rather go after artillery than battle flags because artillery kills! After Cedar Creek Custer’s command was obsessed with gathering trophies. Your account of him chasing a confederate officer is spot on(getting a scalp is more important than commanding his soldiers). It’s this trophymania that killed the Red Baron and so many others in battle.

Most Americans didn’t want to free the slaves-both in the north and the south. As a southern from Ga, a lot of people in the south were worried about the economy in the event slaves were freed. I am not trying to whitewash history but if you read about cotton and the total GDP that it account for in the south-they were worried that the economy would collapse. Yes, there were some straight up racist that believed in white supremacy but it wasn’t across the board. Lincoln’s initial emancipation did not free the slaves in the northern states. Even Lincoln didn’t want to free them in his own states-freeing them in the south was a pointless act at the time. Furthermore, Virginia had 3 separate votes in secession-the 1st two votes virgina voted to stay in the union. Only after Lincoln called up 75,000 volunteers did Virginia vote to leave the union.

@joelmayer4055 4 месяца назад

Great stuff. I have a Libbey Custer story. Custer's last command post was Fort Abraham Lincoln on the opposite bank of the Missouri River from Bismarck, ND. He and his wife, Libbey, had a large house on the post and she saw him off when he left for the last time. About 30-40 years ago the ND Historical Society rebuilt the house and tours are available. There are stories that Libbey haunts the house. Her ghost is mischievous and is a poltergeist. She moves things around to "play" with the staff there. Obviously this is denied by the officials there. But multiple people who have worked there still insist its true.

As always, I enjoyed this tremendously. But Custer, while dashing, was a failure as a Cavalry commander (and a bit of a fool, to be honest). Perhaps Dominic and Tom might like to look at the career of General Philip Sheridan, also a Calvary commander with the Union Army during the American Civil War. Shelby Foote in his great narrative history of that war said of him he was one of only two geniuses to emerge during that war from either side. The other was Abraham Lincoln. And, in case you think Foote was being biased, he was a Southerner who clearly could not stop his admiration of the Confederate army showing through, try as he might.

Foote's other notable genius of the American Civil War, besides Lincoln, was Nathan Bedford Forrest, not Philip Sheridan.

The one figure we seem to have here in the US that you don't really have as much in Britain is the character of the western scout. The famous guides and frontiersmen of the West and somehow I think in the United States we put Custer into that category though he was a military leader and far from a scout. I'm sure his group paid scouts be they Indian or frontiersman. I guess in a way they are explorers and the British have many many famous explorers but there's something else attached to it here in this country. There is now a narrative that they are Intruders and sometimes they are kind of a litmus test to see where your politics stand nowadays here in America.

The best thing, the two of you guys can do is pick up and read a book called decision at toms Brook. This was the cavalry battle between two of the most aggressive cavalryman in the Civil War, Thomas Rosser, and George Custer. They had been friends at West Point and afterwords they Resumed their friendship. At toms, Brook, Custer and his men were on the top of one mountain. Rosser and his men or on top of another mountain. They could see each other. And Custer, while on horseback bowed deeply to his friend. Compare three kinds of weapons in warfare. You got the horse. You’ve got the tank, and you’ve got to find your point. If you think about it, they’re very similar aggressive weapons that are designed only to attack. And each of these weapons is similar. in terms of what they require in a man. You have to have a split second reflections, you have to make split-second decisions, and you have to be incredibly aggressive.

What is interesting is the fact that this happened 10 yrs after Juneteenth & whilst that date was only recognised too late at Federal level given it's significance for those concerned i.e. black Americans; Little Bighorn and the first Nations people is well known but between it and the last Ghost Dance is about 25 years.... Indeed the Civil War was almost 50 yrs ended at this point. Does this point out the challenges of US History when it comes to recalling black American History whilst not ignoring First Nations History? Also the challenge where one History doesn't count out the other? For example, how do First Nations and black Americans treat each others histories?

Today we would have no hesitation in diagnosing George Custer as a narcissist. All the signs are there. He pretended to be a nice, fun person but he wasn’t. I think he chose Elizabeth to be his wife because she was a good, quiet decent person that he could manipulate and control, as narcissists do. They spent most of their marriage apart so she never got to find out what it would have been like to live with him every day. Of course he was a hero in her eyes, she never got the chance to see him as he really was.

@griffhenshaw5631 Месяц назад

Revisionist history has deamonized custer. There was respect as warriors of both. Custer was a warrior. The i dians culture was one of warriors and nomadic hunters . Could 40 acres and a mule coexist w the tribes lifestyle? The tribes contrary to present day popular perception didnt all get along and live together in peace and cooperation. Quite to the contrary. The tribes fought for territory which equated to rerritory to hunt buffalo. Other tribes were treated as a threat to territory. Long before the white man tribes battles for territory. The horse changed tbeir ability to follow the herds which then brought them into contact w other fribes territory. As they called it hunting grounds. Tne world at that time especially because of the civil war. Bravery courage etc were traits that were admired. Ironically some of the same traits as the indians. Traits that are great during war but somewhat incomatible w times of peace. Like patton much later lived for war and in peace his arrributes were disruptive. His luck might have been the deciding factor of his annilation at the little bighorn. Overconfidence relying on the luck one more time.

Right off, first sentence - it wasn't only the Lakota. There were also Cheyenne, Arapahoe, and multiple bands of Sioux (Oglala, Hunkpapa, and Brulé, amongst others, I believe). On the other side, there were Pawnee and Arikara in US service as scouts. When one meets an Indian (only politically correct academics riddled with white liberal guilt say "Native American"), the respectful question to ask RE heritage is, "What is your nation?". Many Indians today hold full blooded indigenous ancestry, but have ancestors of multiple nations. They might have a Blackfoot father and Nez Percé mother, with a Cheyenne grandparent or great grandparent, or a French fur trapper somewhere in their distant ancestral past. However, despite a heritage which may be a patchwork quilt of identities, they generally recognize one as their main influence. In other words, they are like everyone else.

Even today people call him stupid and a buffoon. Yet the US army has done on the spot assessments of his battlefield decisions and concluded that his choices were entirely correct _given the information he had at hand on Sunday June 25, 1876!_ The Little Bighorn is such undulating and hilly terrain that it is impossible to truly know what is behind the next hill, ridge and gully until you are there. I am not a Custer fan but all these people painting him as an imbecile are so far out of their depth that it is embarrassing and they really should shut their mouths and read a lot more--and listen even more. IMHO, Custer's worst mistake was in not listening to his Indian scouts when they told him they could see the encampment's horse herd and it spelled doom for them if they attacked with less than 700 men. Custer could not see it, even with the help of his telescope, and decided they were grossly exaggerating. The rest is history ...

I am not a fan of Custer, for various reasons, but if you are looking for those truly responsible for the Plains Indian wars, then look at President Grant, his war cabinet, and the highest ranks of the US army like Sheridan and Sherman. They are the ones who dreamed up the entire series of wars yet are never held responsible, while these same people blame Custer. How much blame can rightfully be assigned a mere lieutenant colonel in the US army who had absolutely no say in policy and who was actually in President Grant's doghouse at that very moment? I think you should be able to see the irrationality of this argument by now.
