Shocking Things That Never Made Sense About Custer’s Last Stand Exposed | Eyewitness Account

Love these !

Why is it only Custer that people use his bevret rank and not the other officers and men that had the same type of rank

Thanks for the Vids

how can this guy tell us about custer when he was in a ddifferntcompomly

Custer and his troopers simply ran out of ammunition, the order for support and ammunition was ignored by Reno and Benteen. In any other war of the period, those two would have been shot for cowardice.

Custer split his command, united we stand divided we fall, the rest is history!

Jacob Adams is a balanced account and rich in key informations. He also makes important observations and I hope that this video account encourage many people to read the written version with commentaries by historians.

🤔👍👍

Custer’s arrogance and over-confidence sealed his fate by leaving behind the firepower that could have saved him and his command! He also foolishly split his command of some 850 men – sending Maj. Reno and Capt. Benteen and their battalions - 3 companies each with 140 and 120 men respectively - out on separate patrols. Captain McDougall was left behind with a force of about 175 men to man the slow pack train. Custer retained five companies with 210 mounted soldiers and civilians. Custer had also declined to take a battery of 4 rapid-firing Gatling guns with him saying they would slow him down. From History.net: “I offered Custer the battery of Gatling guns,” Gen. Terry explained to Gen. Sheridan, “but he declined it, saying that it might embarrass him, and that he was strong enough without it.” Custer also refused to take any infantry. And he also refused an attachment of the 5th Cavalry to support his 7th Cavalry. It didn’t help that many of the estimated 1,500-2,000 Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne Indians had new repeating rifles and Custer’s troops had older, standard Army issue Springfield single shot carbines. The prominent Indian chiefs were Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

I read that Cooke only had one side of his face whiskers scalped. And I find it curious as knowing how difficult it was to manufacture a good arrow back then why the Indians would shoot several precious arrows into alread dead soldiers, and waste them?

It was the Americans fault. All those Indians, lived on that Continent hundred, if not a thousend an more years. Its the hunger to get more, to trick and lie and sabotage. Its in Himans Greed and Nature. Unfortunately

At this point CUSTER WAS NO LONGER A GENERAL

Why is it Always Custer and his last stand?!?!
How bout the Great American Defenders?!?!?
My people only protected Children and Women and their Homes!!!!
Custer did nothing great in the Army quit the opposite!!!

This account is mostly false.

This is bs.

Custer was a LtCol at the battle of the Little Big Horn.

The policies of the government was responsible for the battle, not the soldiers

Yeah..Gen. Terry ordered the band dismounted and left behind on the steamer. The band instruments were never there.

That account is seriously doubtful.

Joseph White Cowbull shot him off his horse around 600 yards, when he went ahead of his men with two ndn scouts to find a place to forde across the river, from Coolie, he was waving his big black cowboy hat back to his men when Jo shot him off his horse. He fell into the river and the two ndn scouts picked him up, loaded him on his horse, and they fled back to the present day last stand hill. There is way more to this story, as told by my family, decendant of JWCB and William Grandgaard, 1930 engineer bridge builder in the Mid West region who turned author of The Guns of History, who now reside in Sioux Falls, SD, if his still alive, but his workforce of N/D/Lakota told him every detail of the battle.

Factually you are incorrect in many details starting with Custer’s corpse.
The pathology report, withheld in true 19th. century gallantry to protect Elizabeth, is quite clear.
Custer had been shot twice. Left breast and left temple. A digit had been removed from his right trigger finger and both ears pierced. There was also a gash to his thigh and an arrow shot through his privates.
The body had been ‘cleaned’ and there was no sign of bleeding.
As an adjunct the physicians notes state that the shot to the left breast would have been fatal and that the temple shot, Custer’s was right handed, was administered after death by a small calibre weapon.
There was no cranial exit wound.
As to Thomas Custer , from memory, his head had been pounded flat and he was only recognisable by his initials on a sock..
Nasty business getting Sioux and Cheyenne warriors angry…🤫

I wonder why they called him
RAIN IN THE FACE ?
