Re: George Custer's grave.
Very good, earthworks. He was buried at the fight scene for awhile, but moved and reinterred in 1877. Most of the officers were. Well, as near as they could tell which were officers, anyway. I studied Custer a lot. He was villified and still is, but he was just a focal point for the policies of the government. He was a soldier and did his job. If I worked for him, I would probably refer to him as a hard ass and not like him much. His body was found stripped but in an unmutilated condition. There is some conjecture this is not the way it was, but was presented that way out of respect for his widow, Libby. We have no way of knowing now, short of an autopsy, which ain't gonna happen. There is a saying among my northern cousins that the Cheyennes did the fighting, the Sioux got the glory, and the Crow got the land. It was an outstanding coup for the northern tribes in this nation's centennial year, but in the end it sealed their fate. Sorry, I'm becoming a history prof. Good pics, and thanks for the enlightenment. Read 'My Lie, (sorry)Life on the Plains' and anything by Walter Kamp.
