GDG- Re: another account of Wright's Brigade

Margaret,

>>>>There is also the problem that the only survivor from  portion of the 7th 
Cavalry that was under Custer at the "Last Stand" was a  horse, and the 
whites did not consider the Native Americans, even those who  actually fought in 
the battle, to be a credible source of information,  particularly where their 
accounts conflicted with the heroic narrative that  was being constructed.>>>>





The problem is, Comanche wasn't talking due to not enough money on the  
table, not being offered the lead role as the surviving horse in the film that  was 
sure to follow, and a lack of a good agent at the time.
