Custer would normally had Gatling guns with him but he didn't want them on that trip? Oh man!
If he had taken the gatlings along, as he should have; the result would have been very different!
But he had a poor opinion of the ability of Sitting Bull et al. They explained his error to him, at the Little Big Horn....
:)>lol...they explained his error to him. lol.,
Interesting that he was the only one they didn't scalp.
If he had been competent (he wasn't a very good General), and brought these guns, the battle would have turned out very differently....
:)>Oh I didn't know that fact either! I thought of buying some research books about him and doing a series.
His Brother was there with him, bad day for the Custer family!
:'(I didn't know that either! dang. lol.
Yes, lots of mistakes made. There was also a column close that could have relieved the Seventh, but their Commander hated Custer....
