A ravine formation is the reason. Rain, water, flood... Thats the reason.
No
My great great grandfather, for whom I’m named, fought throughout the civil war with the 7th. He was mustered out after the war and thus missed the Little Big Horn. I love watching your videos because I’m sure grandpa would have known some of the men at the Little Big Horn. On one hand it’s history and on another it’s my history.
Walked it in 1976 when I was 13. Still remember the sounds of rattlesnakes.
This, as well as all your videos, is fantastic. Detailed, without being overly so, and to the point. No excess talk and solid research, which I appreciate greatly. It is jarring when folks, even military, use "calvary" in place of "cavalry." The former being the place of Jesus' death and the latter a mounted soldier. I mean no disrespect, and though quite common, I don't believe the two words are interchangeable. Please keep up the great work. Thanks
Supposedly, LT Harrington's remains were found far north of last stand hill. Indian survivors reported a brave soldier on a fast horse escaping last stand hill and being persued by several warriors. A skull was found and returned for reconstruction and used for identification of Harrington in the 2000s.
Thank you for sharing
Depends upon whether the Hall (or whatever his name was) thought he would be punished for desersion (which he may have been guilty of). If you were a deserter and wanted to disappear , maybe you would use the alias of a fellow soldier you served with and knew such things as date and place of birth so others would not question his identity. So he used the name of a fellow soldier Finklestein
Does anyone know the difference between this Clear Lake, CA and Clear Lake,CA in Lake County?
No Man left Behind! ......................................................................................The King is Coming!
The whole area was gone over by archeologists and none were found. They were possibly take to the Indian village and killed or burned. I’ve heard of reports of bones and heads and burned uniforms found there.
Regarding “Finkel/Hall” it should be further investigated but is there any data to prove or disprove the story? It’s certainly a very interesting mystery!
asian tribes be like.. oh no we don’t scalp.. we headhunt
Just found you on KZread. Really like your stuff. I'm a Native American with an archeology and paleontology background. I do my own thing but work with museums and historical societies. Great delivery of facts at hand. Thanks for your work.
Thank you
I wouldn't be a fan of disturbing a resting soul/body. However, I would bet a large amount of money that the erosion and time has placed way more material in the bottom of that gulch/Gulley/ravine. I'm positive that the soldiers have large deposits above them. Without disturbing the soil why not employ or have someone offer their skills in g.p.r ., ground penetrative radar. That will help with burial plots and non evasive disturbance of the area.
I'm baffled by why some markers are not there, and others not where they should be Why is this so?
I did not get from this video what then is truth if old version is distorted?
I just emailed you about this! Great video!! #84
Based and Foreskinpilled.
I’ve walked it 3 times…It really gets you🥸
I’ve been there 3 times…It’s an eerie place
They have sign on the spot he got killed I have stood in front of of it and read it I am x German my self When I was in the US Army in Germany they had a large print of wagon box fight I have always loved history and had a opportunity to talk to an old man that was the soldier at the wounded knee massacre. He had many buckskin shirts taken of the dead body’s at Wounded knee I’m just sorry I did not know the real history and my English was not all to great I wish I could pick him out of the picture where the body’s were being buried all I remember there were 3 soldiers standing close together
Days after the battle Benteen was able to find all the officers with Custer except Harrington Sturgis and Lord : Dr Lord was a friend of Benteen's and could have been the officer referred to by Two Moons as having led the breakout to Deep Ravine and whose body the chief viewed there after the battle.
I have always lissoned to the media, calling it a massacre. Did they themselves go to the Indian camp to do just that massacre men, women, and children . Interesting what they would have called it the other way around.
archaeology would respectfully sort this
Finkle is Einehorne, Einehorne is Finkle, Einehorne is a Man!
Just what i was looking for. Well done easy to understand. I have one pressing question. Did soldiers have their names on their uniforms or labled for identification? Thank you for the video😊new fan!
Really good job of an excellent bunch of accounts.
Dorman was not JUST executed....he was horribly tortured ....he SHOULD have not ridden against the Sioux and Cheyenne
Does the army owe INTEREST on that $102??
there is nothing in deep rovine the bodies where removed if any and, relocated
Do. You. Think. Custer. Had. Death. Wish ? He. Had. Gatling guns. He. Didn't. Use. Why. ,??
Absolutely love your videos they’re informative, yet relaxing, and just fun to listen to great sense of humor. I am well read on the subjects, but I learned something new in every single video.
Custer was up himself. Couldn't wait. Underestimated the Indian strength.
no stakes in Deep Ravine might mean noting more than nobody went down Into Deep Ravine
As far as I've ever read, it's the US gov that hinders a complete in depth study of the entire battlefield
the markers are a nightmare....I remember being at the battlefield and having a park ranger tell me that a marker for a killed warrior south of the Reno Benteen site was actually placed close to the path, RATHER THAN WHERE THE WARRIOR DIED, so that people could "see it"....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! THIS is what passes for "history" with the people who run that battlefielde!?!?
custer received WEAK "orders" at best....BUT this is not a "EITHER, OR" situation, this is a "BOTH" situation....Terry's orders were bad BUT custer didn't treat ANY of Terry's orders AS ORDERS. Few mention Tullocks Creek which custer was supposed to scout (a main purpose of cavalry) and send word to Gibbon as to what was found there....he blew that off entirely.... Because custer was NOT worried about the plains Indians escaping, he was worried about somebody else finding the Indians first or that there would be a battle where Terry or Gibbon's troops were involved AND THE BATTLE WOULD CREDITED TO THEM AS THE RANKING OFFICERS ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Anybody, custer included, who was "worried" about the Indians getting away would Not make the decisions or take the actions custer did...IT'S HIS ACTIONS THAT GIVE AWAY TO THE INDIANS THE ARMY'S PRESENCE IN THE AREA. If he had CONTINUED SOUTH TO THE HEAD WATERS AS ORDERED BY TERRY and then crossed west to the Big Horn, he would have been approaching the Indian camp from dead south CHASING THEM NORTH INTO BOTH GIBBON'S AND TERRY'S COLUMNS AND INTO A FIGHT THEY COULD NOT HAVE WON. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT CUSTER DID NOT WANT. HE HAD to hit the camp, on his own and win the big victory alone for it to be his. CUSTER'S ACTIONS could have caused the scattering of the camp which is the exact situation they all claimed to be trying to avoid. NOBODY thought it possible for a US Cav regiment to be defeated by plains warriors. The army's experience with the plains indians had often consisted of charging into a sleeping camp in the dead of winter and shooting people as they emerged from their tipis. ....this time they were wrong and it was brought about by custer himself
a bunch of Cav horses survived the battle....many badly wounded which were killed by the army before leaving the area....of course there those captured by the Sioux Cheyenne warriors
Awesome front to back presentation!
Gadfly here 😟. What… Fetterman was told “ don’t go over lodge trail ridge” and he did. End of story, as far as who did what. You want to say “oh… he was an OKAY guy.” Well…opinions are plentiful 🥶😶🌫️
Love the detail and documentation you put into every video. I always feel like I come away smarter and more informed about the material covered favorite channel on KZread. Have a great day.
Fantastic video loved every second of it keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙏
I recently found this channel. I enjoyed this video. Your editor does a good job. You don’t use loud sound effects. The background music is good and at a proper volume. I’m assuming you’re a team of people.
Team of one- that’s why it may take a little time between videos. Glad you like them, thanks for watching
IT IS THE JOB OF AMERICAN VOTER TO KEEP AN EYE THE POWER HUNGARY POLITICIANS IN ORDER TO KEEP THE REPUBLIC ALIVE.
... America's problem is is sees the gummint as the problem, and the cattle barons as heroes. That is pretty much the only thng holding you guys back.
NOTHING LIKE OLD AMERICAN HISTORY.
And another thing Natives were involved with the Civil War from the Cherokees of NC to Seminole of Florida who helped the Confederates ⁉️😮
Hey let's say after the Civil War, Custer and Fetterman got a little cocky and underestimate the Indian. But the Natives suffered for it, it's just gave the white man a excuse to murder more for Land. Yes I'm Native American 😮
So Keogh was unmutulated? Was there a reason some of the natives destroyed the bodies while some were left untouched? Maybe they fought bravely and were left whole
I wonder if anyone suggested to Keseberg that given his past, maybe starting a restaurant wasn't the best idea? I can't think of any worse career path for a cannibal than serving food.
