custer...custer...i'm sure i've heard that name before.....thinks DBW....

"of course!!!" he says
"the colonel...KENTUKY FRIED CHICKEN"
and hapilly for having remembered he sits himself back at he bar and orders a little triple double wiskey laced with "bagaco"(a very potent portuguese fire water)

I have a relative in the family tree, Captain William T. Lane, 5th Tennesee Cavalry, Confederate States of America who was shot thru the lung fighting Custer's brigade at
the Battle of White Post (VA). He survived and went on to become a personal guard of CSA President Jefferson Davis.

Gen. Custer was a pompous *** but he was no coward.
He and two brothers died at Little Big Horn. Don't put too much faith in the book 'Son of the Morning Star'.....it is more an opinion piece then fact.

i think the all thing is difficult to make sence off...at that time everyone wrotte books on the "heroic" far west that had nothing to do with the real thing and added a lot of mist and fogg to history up to the point that many things are simply not possible to be distiguished from the facts or the myths

You're right about his being pompous and DBW you're right in how american history is clouded. He is shown a little more realistically in the movie, "Little Big Man" with Dustin Hofman. Actually it's probably not realistic, but it's probably closer than Errol Flynn's version, or any of the other Custer movies made.

Hey Lane, when you wrote "somewhere near the little big horn" That reminded me of the Twilight Zone episode about the Natl Guard Tank unit that gets wrapped up in "Custer's Last Stand", do you remember that one?

I know Warren Oates was one of the actors, I don't remember the other two. But that was one of the best T.Z.'s ever.
