Custer at Little Bighorn: A Deep Political Hypothesis

[Charles Drago]

Interesting challenge, Charles, especially in light of the recent reference to Obama's handling of the Gulf oil spill as Custer-like in his inability to gage the scope of the thing, or to see all the Indians behind the hill.

One additional point: Custer knew well enough how many hostiles were "behind the hills." His battle plan would have worked had Benteen come on quickly.

Or at least so say I.
