........on June 25, 1876,a battle at Little Big Horn took place between Indians (Native Americans)and a company of 264 (white) men on this day in 1876. Needless to say, General Custer didn't come down for breakfast on June 26th. :grim:

I visited the Battle of Little Big Horn battle site a few years ago on my way through to Yellowstone. They have grave markers exactly where the soldiers fell. I look around me 360 degrees as far as the eye could see and imagined what happened that day. From what I hear Custer was a bastard and it probably served him right to get killed.

Oh, I almost forgot. I read the newspaper article at the Little Big Horn national monument museum dated the day after the battle. It said the Indian women hacked off the genitals of the dead and badly wounded but still living US soldiers with sharp rocks and stuff. What a way to go huh? It's bad enough that you are laying there dying, but then to get your genitals chopped off besides. But with all the terrible things these soldiers did to the Indians I can't feel sorry for them.
