Elsewhere on this Forum you'll find a very lengthy treatment of Custer and the LBH that provides my deep political perspective on a deeply political series of events.
My CURRENT verdict: Custer was set up, if not to be massacred along with 300+ officers and men plus uncounted number of the Tribal Peoples of the Great Plains, then certainly to remain victory-free and thus fatally damaged as a political figure and pop culture hero.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
