Battle of the Little Bighorn
and "Custer on Offense"
|
Why did Custer choose to travel north, away from Reno and Benteen, up to his final resting place here on Last Stand Hill? I believe he was not "driven" by the Indians from Medicine Tail Coulee or "Ford B," but aggressively went north to attack the village. I believe he and his 210 men were "on the offensive." |

It is the only explanation that makes sense. As time allows, I hope to provide some reasons and evidence for this rather "controversial" view. One of these days, I will add maps, photos, writings, and other things on this page to support this viewpoint... |
