Twenty-two years of teaching social studies to seventh and eighth grade students in a New Jersey school district and I can tell you that in all those years only two students ever heard of Custer's Last Stand and another one thought it was the name of a new dessert store, Custard's Last Stand. But every single one knew who Snoop Dog was. Great video, as usual.

I guess you've read the fantastic "Son of the Morning Star" by Evan S.Connell then?

Been to the battlefield several times in the 90's. On one of my trips I had the time of my life when I was fellow members of the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association when we spent the night up at the Crow's Nest and the following morning we rode horseback following the trail to Little Bighorn. It is about 15 miles...we stopped along the way at the point where Custer divided his command, the Morass, and Lone Teepee, ending the trips crossing the Little Bighorn River in the exact spot where Reno and his battalion crossed. I could tell you some stories about some of my experience out there. I really enjoy your videos. Glad you finally made it the Montana !

Visited the battlefield in 2019. The National Park Service originally named it "The Custer Battlefield National Monument". Now it is called the "Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument"".

My great great uncle died with Custer that day The fight was over the Black Hills.Custer lead a expedition to the hills in 74 In which he found gold in Custer creek near Custer SD. The hills at this time was part of the Sioux reservation that basically all of western South Dakota.Grant tried to buy the hills from the Sioux and the Sioux said,hell no but the news got out about the gold people illegally went into the hills for the gold,and that's when all trouble started. The treaty of 68 stated that the scared hills would be theirs till the end of Time 😎😎😎

@mikerelva6915

Ай бұрын

Grant did try to buy the hills and offer a peaceful resolution which would compensate the Sioux, which is more than almost anyone else would do at that time. When the Sioux wanted something tho, they simply took it.....they didn't offer compensation for the horses they rated from the Crow, or the women they stole and.made sex slaves. They simply took it and offered no mercy to those not of their tribe. History does not tell you this tho. Progress was coming and it was unstoppable. Red Cloud was the wisest of all as he went to New York City and saw just how advanced the white man was and that the Native Americans had no shot in the face of such a superior enemy. Crazy Horse refused to even look at the white man's city, he did not want to understand the opposition as Sun Tzu tells you is the most important thing in a war ("know thy enemy"). This battle could have been avoided had Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and others actually saw the imminent force that was coming. Crazy Horse eventually lost his life over this too, same with Red Cloud. Adapting to reality and seeing the facts was the proper response, not war against an enemy you simply could not beat. And inevitably, it was the white man that saved the Sioux who eventually would have starved out....another thing the history books don't tell you as the bison herds were vanishing even without the white man.

@stewiedog01

Ай бұрын

I don't know where you get your historical facts from but some of them are absurd. The ONLY peaceful solution Grant could and should have offered was to have honored the Fort Laramie Treaty. Period. Native American tribes and the US government made over 300 treaties and the government broke every one of them, every one. And a lot of these broken Treaties resulted in the "Indian wars" of the old west including the battle of the greasy grass (Little Bighorn). I'll tell you some REAL facts: all the Sioux chiefs of the seven camp fires turned down the governments land offer because they wanted the government to honor the Treaty of the great Sioux nation. There was no majority vote amongst the seven chiefs to accept the governments offer. It was the government agents who lied to the relatives of the Chiefs to sign in the chief's behalf. That's how the territory of the Sioux was taken - which led to the government creating of the Indian reservations that we have today. It took over a hundred years for the case to go to court. And in 1980 the Supreme Court of the United States voted in favor of the Sioux and ruled that the Fort Lararmie Treaty was broken and their land was taken illegally. A compensation offer was made but the Sioux today refuse it and want the land returned to the tribes. This brings me back to my original point: the ONLY peaceful solution was for Grant to have honored the Fort Laramie Treaty. If he had done that this battle would have never happened. And as far as your comment about women were sex slaves. Do you have any facts to back up this statement? I'll tell you some facts about women in Native American society. Within the Sioux tribes women had more rights and freedom than white women in white society. They were equal to the men. It was the women who took care of the camps. They could marry and divorce whenever they wanted. They even owned the property they shared with their husbands. The men were the protectors, hunters, co-parents and leaders. Native women were important and depended on, they not looked down upon like women in white society in the 1700s and 1880s. Red Cloud became a wise man in his old age but he was also jealous of Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse) especially when he was chosen to be a shirt wearer and Red Cloud wasn't. Crazy Horse was a great leader AND also a lot younger than Red Cloud. By the 1860-70s bison herds were still in abundance on the northern plains of the US AND in Canada. There was no bison census taken at the time so how would anyone know if they were vanishing? Natural Predation came and went for centuries. The majority of the bison population still vanished because of people hunting them for their hides.

@@stewiedog01 so are you denying that if "the white man " chose to make the Sioux go totally extinct they could not have? They made the choice to bring about a peaceful resolution tho, which is more than would have been done had the Sioux been the one with the technology and man power. If the United States so chose to use whatever resources necessary, withstand whatever loss of life, and withstand any bad press and public relations, they easily could have taken out every single tribe. But they chose not to and they chose to be diplomatic and incorporate the Sioux into the country. THAT is my point, even tho post world war 2 history has been rewritten to cast Custer and all European colonialism as wholly bad. As far as Sioux and Natives using women as sex slaves, that is simply what they did. There are countless cases of women being abducted, including Matilda Lockhart who had her nose burnt off her face and was raped and abused so badly she died years after she was captured. In Libby Custer's book she explains how even when she would go out she would be accompanied by a soldier who was instructed to kill the woman vs let them fall in to Sioux hands - why would Custer ask his wife be shot to death vs fall in Sioux hands? Sounds to me like you have totally gobbled up this post World War 2 Wikipedia revisionist history version of 'the Noble Savage'. The Sioux would kill, scalp and torture men they captured, mutilate their dead bodies (see Fredrick Wyllyams), they would use the woman as slaves, rape them or just kill them, and if they couldn't use children they simply mutilated them - and let's not get started on how they treated and were trying to wipe out the Crow. Why else would Curly, Run By The White Man and other Crow be working with Custer? Did the US break treaties? Yes. Did the Native break treaties? Yes. The whole reason the troops were even sent out there was to ensure the Sioux stopped attacking travelers, settlers and obeyed their agreement. History is not black and white, but we should all be thankful that it was Christian Europeans that had the technology and power vs say the Saudis who ran the slave trade and castrated every slave, Muslims who forced you to convert or be killed, the Sioux or virtually anyone else at that time in history. The entire reason any Native American even exists today is because "the white man" chose it so.....they chose peace, they didn't choose war and total domination despite being vastly superior. They could have easily dedicated millons of troops for decades and just genocided the Indians off, given them no casinos, given no reparation, kill all the men as the Sioux did to their beaten enemies, but they chose to be peaceful which is in keeping with the tenets of Christianity. We should all count are blessings for that.

@@stewiedog01 and as far as Red Cloud being jealous of Crazy Horse, I don't buy that at all. There are so many tall tales and different renditions when it comes to this event that we do not even know how Custer died or if there was a true survivor. Every tribe and every chief had a different rendition of what took place. No doubt it would suit somes interest to paint Red Cloud as a weak jealous traitor and Crazy Horse (who remained combative and defiant to the end) as the one to be looked up to. The reality is no soldiers had to be lost that day. The Bighorn was a waste of life and Sioux ended up on their reservation anyways. Westward Expansion was IMMINENT and as I stated before, thank God it was. If the Sioux had ruled the world we are still living in the stone age, no iPhones, no internet, no grocery stores to prevent starvation. We should count our blessings that things unfolded as they did and Christians had the power.

Extremely doubtful Lizzie. There were just way, way too many Indians for the 7th Cavalry, which numbered less than 700 men. There may have been as many as 2000 warriors there and Custer didn't realize he had bitten off way more than he could chew. It was a disaster for a reason.

He was just very badly outnumbered, and so was Reno back at the south end. It is a wonder Reno's force was not annihilated, as well.

So excited to see you start a series at the Little Big Horn! It's such a beautiful location, and still very haunting to stand there and think about what happened there. Looking forward to the next three episodes!

This is pretty cool, because the reason why we preserve the battlefields is for this reason. The National Park Service preserves those fields so that Echelon Front and others can come in and see the landscape as it was and teach our current military the life lessons they can learn from battles fought. Generals and Commanders like Grant, Washington, Lee, Eisenhower, Lincoln, Custer, and many others can teach life lessons even though they are long gone.

I recently read "The Last Stand" by Nathaniel Philbrick, which gives a factual account of the Little Bighorn and surrounding events. Needless to say, I am very excited that you are doing a series on it and look forward to the remaining videos. Nice job, JD.

This has the makings of a great series JD. Again, with the active description of the terrain, its more inciteful than reading from a book with an author created map, almost as good as being there. I just finished a firearms course and we had some discussion about the Springfield Trapdoor Carbine. I hope Jocko, Leif and Company talk about the logistics of these firearms verses the lever actions the Tribes had, with the concept of suppression with firepower. With the numbers they had, how far they were spread out, they were just plain outgunned.

I grew up a few miles from the Battlefield...well before it was a "controlled" National Monument. We could explore around at will. The US Military built a Fort near my hometown, "Fort Custer was built after the infamous battle. In the 60's my friend and I found the old forts garbage dump...on the property of another friend. We had many adventures as 12 -13 year old archeologists. I collected quite a trove of bullets, cartridges, buttons, bottles, and an occasional "US" Belt buckle. Many uniform scraps, boots and clothing items were found but discarded.

My family and I visited the battlefield when I was a kid. I was always a history nut and my parents enjoy it, maybe not as much but still. I remember the headstones the most, all scattered around. As I've grown older it has become much more apparent that it wasn't a battle that Custer lost, but a battle that the Native Americans won. Sadly, the last major win for them. Generations of losing following this battle. None of my ancestors were here at that time, but I try to make it a point to bring up this history when the conversation calls for it and because I live in a state close to it. And I will teach my children about it.

Love the videos. Would love to see more about the 36th Ulster Division, as well as more Irish units that fought during WW1. I don't see nearly enough about them.

Great presentation. This event will always be studied and should be, though many folks like to think of contributing factors. Reality is a hard truth. The Army knew for weeks about the size of the native group. Colonel Custer was all about George, period. They had no business being in that position and starting anything without support, which wasn't anticipated that day. IMHO opinion he was thinking about his cowardly action at Washita and thought it would work. Thanks to good soldering from Benteen and Reno, most of the Command was saved.

I discovered that Captain Benteen was actually here in my hometown of Columbus, Ga, at the battle of Columbus at the close of the Civil War. He was then with the 10th Missouri Cavalry under Gen Wilson [Wilson's Raid]. Of course, this was 16 yrs later, but it always blows my mind how far people could travel back in these times - this is a long trip by today's standards. The same goes for Gen Benning's troops at the lower bridge at Antietam - he was from Columbus, Ga also, and Maryland is a looonnggg way from Georgia!
