The Battle of the Little Bighorn to Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse and others.

… reminds of this movie clip

Colonel Miles laid it out perfectly.

Big Little Horn just don’t have that ring to it

The battle of the greasy grass kinda has a ring to it.

Sure does!!

Mine was punnier.

My oldest brother once visited the massacre site and made friends with a Lakota Sioux park ranger. The park ranger had a great uncle who had been a participant and had heard all the firsthand accounts as a child. The ranger ended up taking my brother all around the battlefield after hours and telling him the stories he had heard growing up about the battle.

Pretty cool deal.

Your brother hit a gold mine! What a great experience.

Kind of a cool site,, a very good self tour.
The native rangers are great.

I realize times were different back then,,, but those in politics werent

Fourth of July is coming up this weekend... just as it was back in 1876...

1776 to 1876 = 100 Years = Centennial.
1776 to 2026 = 250 Years = Semiquincentennial.

His immediate battalion of five companies was surrounded and annihilated. Custer was killed alongside ~268 of his men.July 1876: News of "Custer's Last Stand" reached the American public just as the nation was celebrating its Centennial, causing widespread shock.

I am with the Indians. They saw the invasion of immigrants taking over their country the same as we see today. The good Lord gives and takes as his will desires.

Can't resist the irony in this statement. Many (most?) of the immigrants we want to send back south have on average more than 50% North American DNA that stretches back thousands of years before whites showed up on the continent.

Isn't it an eighth in bloodlines that allows you to claim tribal membership here for many tribes?

"Veni,vidi, vici." Then we made rules. Now everybody has to follow them.

I have no problem giving illegal aliens a free ride back to their homes.
