Josh, every survivor of reno's command testified in the investigation that if reno didn't stop the charge, they would have all been wiped out. Reno had about 120 men in his command that was charging at least 3,000 native Americans. Jeno did his part, the warriors had been drawn to the south, and the females and children went north. Unfortunately for custer, that camp was so big, many on the north end didn't know what was happening, some warriors also went north to get there ponies which had stampeded.. In my humble option, it would have been interesting if custer could have cross the river, but the spot he picked wasn't foldable. His only hope was to immediately join his other forces but he picked to look for another crossing which sealed his fate.

Like you, love history. I've listened or read everything I can find on the battle of the little big horn and have some of my own thoughts. People forget custer forced marched his command the night before so both man and beast, after already being in the field for weeks, had to be gassed, and not making good decisions from lack of sleep.

Thank you for another long look back into wildwest History. Appreciate all the work you put in to making well basically a paid for TV series. Seriously dude You destroy anything on cable or paid TV.

​@@theodoresmith5272 The arrogant corkstuffer didn't believe the scouts that it was a much larger encampment than the ones of women and children that he was accustomed to " subduing".

@@theodoresmith5272 Good stuff, I hope to cover this more in-depth soon

Read it long ago, need to read it again

I'd rather be called wooden leg than wooden head😂😅😊

@@GeorgeVanderveen-gk6hhthat’s what they nicknamed George Custer

Thanks, I'd love to

I don't know about that but I thank you

Thank man, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, you too!

Hope you like it

@@WildWestExtravaganza oh yeah. Like I said yesterday, I'm open to listening to new information on Custer. Of the channels out there that cover these kinds of topics, your work seems to be not only the most competent and comprehensive but also the most entertaining. Nobody tops that intro music.

Coming soon!

100% agree. What use to be just entertaining has now become a hell of a educational program.

My pleasure!!

Thanks!

I appreciate that coming from you, thank you sir!

It might well have been something they saw with their very eyes and didn't want happening to themselves. Understandable.

They always said to save the last bullet for yourself

Glad you enjoyed it!

I don't think anyone knows for sure but I'll try

He was knocked from his horse by Buffalo Calf Road Woman and finished off by other women who shoved sharpen sticks into his ears to "open his ears, so he could listen...." This story has been passed down ever since the battle of the greasy grass.

​@@WildWestExtravaganzaask a Native we know!

@@reneedenn5819 Buffalo Calf Road Woman was the girl who saved her brother at the battle of the rosebud

Nice

Well done man.

Thank you!!!

Thank you sir

Will do

@@WildWestExtravaganza Give you guilty or innocent verdict on the court-martial of Marcus Reno.

It was a Court of Inquiry. It’s different than a Court Martial.

Thank you

Correct

they waited for days for Truckee to come and it was a complicated relationship between the 2 Fremont eventually paid for Winnemuccas children schooling but he had guilt for the enormous death he brought into California showing Fremont Truckee pass bypassing the Modoc and Pit River tribes which were "hostile" you can see this in Winnemucca guiding the Donner party to their deaths 😕

I did. Check out the episode titled Last Survivors of Little Bighorn

HEY CHARLIE, DUCK YOUR HEAD......A LITTLE BIT LATE ON THAT ONÈ CHARLIE.

Gibbon and Terry didn't arrive until the 26th I believe

Thanks

Never trust the government

Oh, they definitely could have run the Sioux out of the Black hills and exterminated every single one of the them....but they chose not to as they were good God fearing people. The white man is unique in history as they have been the only ones to take care of and help those that were weaker than them, the only ones to end slavery, the only ones to offer reparations to a weaker. If the Sioux had ruled the world they would have exterminated every man and enslaved every woman.....the Little Big Horn proved this too: young boys of only 18 years of age, Custers little relative who was not a combatant and only like 12, begging for their lives and what did the Sioux do? They killed every last one of them, and worse than that tortured them to death, scalped them, cut off their private parts, their arms and legs, mutilated their bodies. Don't get it twisted. Owing to the white man being Christians and believing murder is a sin, practicing the tenets of Christianity, is why the Sioux are still in those black hills. And it wasn't until post world war two when the Marxists took over the United States that Custer started being bullied and this idea of the noble savage started being promoted. Had the rolls been reversed, the Sioux would have killed every man in the world with the white man's technology, intelligence and power. We should thank God the white man a d his Christianity were the ones with the power, for if they were not we would still be in the stone age. Never forget that and don't let any Marxist fool you.

Great suggestion

I agree it's possible

I've read that their were actually about 400 soldiers that got whooped that day by the natives

Thanks

I love reading about Ole Scratch and the big Irishman Donegan.

Really?

@@WildWestExtravaganza yes sir I read over 1,107 books of Custer's Last Stand and I'm not proud of it haha

​@@patrickroy3380good info, thank you!

That's what I was thinking

Boy named Soux

​@@chetcarman3530 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What do you think the best book on Reno is?

Niccccce

True

Very cool

Where you been?

Which ones?

@@WildWestExtravaganza At the time of wooden legs autobiographie, I thought it was said 17 warriors were still alive…are their testimonies available? Just curious. Another excellent show btw.

Logistics & ego

@JohnWest because Custer split everyone up..... if benteen and reno got there they would also have been wiped out

@@clintgrimsley well they should have sent enough men to do the job should have sent at least 25,000 20000 Calvary that would have stopped the Indians

They offered Custer Gatling guns and another cavalry he refused saying it would slow him down

​@@JohnWest-zq5gs😂😂😂😂

No, unfortunately not

I could be wring but don't many who graduate last at West Point go on to be great war time leaders?

@@WildWestExtravaganza 😆😆
