A celebrated victory.
Speaking as an educated Historian with a BA from the University of Texas, I must say that the reading of this primary document has proved to be your best offering by far.
I've never heard of this soldier's account. I truly appreciate you bringing this information to me and your many listeners.
Wow! Bravo, job well done.
Thank you Sir, and Happy New Year.
👍✌️
Well done!!!!
Being a Lakota, in the 20th century, I engaged the NVA in Vietnam several times. I fought alongside some descendents of the soldiers in the battle of the Greasy Grass in 1876. Neither they, nor I, ever expected togather we'd stand these attacks as brothers in arms as nothing but American soldiers. Time has moved within stages of combat. Only to reflect our solidarity of we were American soldiers in a fight to survive as such. No matter who our ancestors were.
Great job, that was a wild recounting from that cavalryman.
Another great episode, I appreciate it wasn’t too short and it wasn’t too long. I would like a compilation of these firsthand accounts of the LBH someday thank you for your work and keep them coming.
👍
Thank you just love your channel All the best for the new year from Worksop Nottinghamshire England 🇬🇧
While working on electric pylons in Brighton uk walking in the evening though a church yard came across a grave stone which had been changed to a marble one cause the man had won a medal at the big horn a few years earlier working at sheriff hutton in Yorkshire there was a Sargent with custer who was killed from sheriff Hutton in England
Regarding the First Sergeant, I wonder what was "the special make of rifle" called ?
Excellent narration, this account puts me right into the fight
Thanks for another top class video. It was superbly read. As an English historian, I've learned a great deal from these productions. I look fore ward to the next one.
