This is one of the best battlefields I’ve ever been to. Brought to life by those who lived it and told by those who are related to them via the tour they offer. Very moving walking around the battlefield as well, can visualize it all as you walk along the trails
JD, you do such a great job in every video. You make everything super informative, all while paying respect to the topic and events at hand. I'm a videographer and editor and you do awesome with b-roll. Just wanted to say thank you for everything you do. Also, shout out to the Gettysburg Museum of History for the Omaha Beach artifacts. I made a little WW2 section on my bookshelf just for them.
2:03 The infamous Rez Dog. It is always a striking experience when I visit the area of the Battle of the Greasy Grass. I (a wasicu) grew up on a Lakota Rez and knew many of the grandchildren and great grandchildren of those who were a part of that battle.
Well done JD. Linking with Jocko was also cool. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend that anyone finding themselves near this historic battle take the time for the tour with Native American guides. It is extremely moving.
It's always a piece of History with you JD. The Indian wars are fascinating & rarely taught. Much respect for Jocko & crew. He is easy to appreciate but I know little of his crew. Seems like he was selling a product. More then a ethos or montra..thought process. Love & respect to our History 💪🎵🎶
My wife and I visited there in 2016. It truly was very interesting. You could almost feel the tension and confusion from that day. We spent 2 days in Hardin. We went to the museum in Garryowen. The owner of that was very nice and friendly. We then visited the Trading Post. They had a lot of great food and items for sale. I hope to get back out there soon.
It amazes me how much drama it was between the officers that they were able to accomplish anything much less be able to fight them off for as long as they did.
There were rumors that Grant set Custer up as Custer had filed charges against Grant’s brother who was commissioned to get the supplies from the government to the Native Americans. Pres Grant was very angry at Custer and he was well aware of the hostilities between Custer, Reno and Benteen, neither of the later liked Custer and they knew he would charge in- everyone in the military knew about his ego. There was a man who finally went to Libby Custer and told her he was held back from going into the battle. He said he was have a hard time living with out telling someone about it. Can’t remember where I read that, I have read a lot of history of the Lakota, in particular and then again about well, lot of wars but I went on a Custer bend for awhile and found that interesting!
I live 50 minutes from the battlefield-my distant cousin 1st Sergeant Michael Kenney of F Troop, died below Custer. The only battlefield where markers show where the soldiers fell. Reno attacked the village at 3 pm and Custer was overrun by 5 pm-2 hr. battle. Montana prairie in the summer is stifling hot/exhausting in itself, and the undulating ground gave the Natives cover and concealment everywhere-from Reno to last stand hill with many places in enfilade. Listen to the Native's oral history as they provide a vital perspective on the battle that is often missing from traditional historical white narratives. Those paired markers of Keogh's command were men fighting back-to-back, many hand to hand, as ammo had been lost when Lame White Man's crew ran off the horses carrying ammo. Keogh was the only man on the field not mutilated as he and his men fought so well. The sharpshooter popping off rounds into Reno's perimeter was a white trapper who married into the tribe-used a Sharps 50 cal. at 600 yards-Natives don't fight that way, no honor. Very hallowed ground and even during the day, there is an uneasiness that still lingers/permeates the battlefield reflective of the unmitigated violence and terror of the battle. That residual energy manifests itself in many after dark stories from the Crows and staff that are truly terrifying.
Battle of Platte Bridge During the battle, Lt. Caspar Collins was killed. In Casper there is a museum called Ft. Caspar. It sits next to the N. Platte River If you go at the right time of year they do tours. You might get to ride in a covered wagon 😂.
Their whole consulting company is built on the principle that the lessons they learned on the battlefield can be directly applied to anyone’s business and life problems. They’re not training people for war.
Great series..one thing I didn't know is the dismounted element of custers command when calhoun was ordered to slow down the tide of Indian's coming up last stand hill
Need to consider how much fight the dog has in him. Superior firepower and technology doesn’t always secure a win. The Vietcong and NVA were the last formidable enemy we have fought. They were little men but had experience in warfare and determination to get the US out. Per John stryker Myer , the Vietcong were able to inflict 100 percent casualty rate on our best of the best (Mac v sog).
I disagree with what you said, really....... At 6:57 Both JD's are smart, and not only smart but true Americans that are keeping American History alive while making it a better place for all..... Now I'll get on my soapbox and go back to the video.
I took a trip west in 2016 or so to Montana and points around there with 4 or 5 guys I have worked with. We visited Mount Rushm 1:46:02 ore, Sturgis, Deadwood, and Yellowstone Park, but when asked later which part of the trip I considered the best, I didn’t hesitate to say the Little Bighorn Battlefield. It was eerily inspiring to look out from those spots and think about what happened there. Later I watched and listened to some great oratories by Native American descendants telling of the battle as it was passed down to them. Funny, even as I have watched countless videos by J.D., I never thought I would see one of a place I have been. I’m pretty sure I won’t go to Europe, but hope to see some Civil War battlefields. Anyway thanks for another great history lesson.
In my opinion, the campaign was an impossible task. 3 columns, who could not communicate, chasing after a tribe they could not find. The battle was lost before it even began.
Hey i have a request my friend i subscribed to your channel but i was wondering if you could do a video of the government Indian boarding schools and show pictures of the Indian boarding schools and then compar the pictures to the German germen camps of ww2 just saying it's the same thing thy mistreated native American children just like they did the Jewish people in ww2 it's messed up but i feel people need to know the true history that still goes untalkt about today please Thay still have 4 Indian boarding schools open to this day in the USA alone it's not right
The more i learn about of the battle of the Little Bighorn The more I don't think the 7th Cavalry were not a fit enough unit to involved in this campaign in 1876. it was not just the bad relationship of the senior officers but it and i hard 70% new recruits an lot from Europe with not great English
Keep an open mind , I’m sure you do now , not to say you don’t but I’ve met many people in my life that will spit that line out but when it comes to something you ask them or a scenario arises they are already dead set on what they want to do. Not say they are wrong but live up to your ideals
A lot of negativity is being directed towards Reno, however, the fact is his actions saved lives. Given we have the luxury of having a helicopter view of the battlefield and the intelligence after the fact - were his actions really that negative once the hornets nest had been kicked ??? I'm curious to know what other strategists would have done in the exact same situation ????
Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull had no strategy. That's not how the warriors fought. They fought as individuals or in small groups. There was no overarching command structure. When Reno and Benteen stopped fighting that freed the bulk of the warriors to concentrate on Custer and he was overwhelmed by numbers, not tactics.
SUCKS they make their own conjectures of what might have happened if this if that I want to hear only facts of this battle and mistakes Custer made while in command.
@@SaundersE5 No Einstein not talking about Custer but Jocko & Leif lecture. ? Facts are things that happened at that time in history conjecture the if this if that by those now..
Custer's remains and those of aprox 10 other officers and civilian staff were disinterred and buried back in the States; Custer being buried at West Point, scene of the second-most unsuccessful chapter of his military careeer.
Should they have Custer at the top of the memorial, through meritocracy, despite the fact he killed hundreds of men through very poor decisions? However, I'm sure that the protocol for monuments is that the more senior, they stay at the top?
James Calhoun and Keogh was left at Calhoun Hill to slow down the Indians from the Emcampment. No where to run. Tired Horses. Custer went to What is now Custer Hill. This was a dier situation. Custer only has 210 soldiers with him at this point.Powerful Place. Custer split his command up. Last Stand Hill is where you see the white markers .Soldiers ran for their lives. No where to run. Soldiers died where they fell. Company C, L,I ,was left At Calhoun Hill. Company F at Ford A.
I won't say he was a coward, but during the CW he was a loose cannon. His ego and ambition got him and his family killed. He wanted the White House and he needed this great victory to put him there. I can see why Reno and Benteen despised him.@warrendarrah2555
@@crippledcrow2384 he was a general at 23 years old. He was the hero of Appomattox, he led numerous charges. He was a natural leader, and yes he was a prima Donna. I have read every credible book written about him.
What an absolutely ignorant thing to say. Did he need to get off his high horse and get humbled at times? Absolutely. Was he a coward and disgrace? Absolutely NOT. He was a general by the age of 23. Arguably the reason the Union won Appomattox. And overall a great, if not incredible leader. This battle was lost way before it ever began. Back in the planning, or lack there of, stages. Regardless of if he split his men up or not, he was outnumbered and they were basically chasing ghosts. Almost no way the Army wins this fight. And to say he went after women a children, is false. Did woman and children die during the battles he took part in? Absolutely. But to say he TARGETED them, is beyond false. Do yourself a favor and use that super computer that you’re holding in your hand and educate yourself on such subjects before making blatantly ignorant comments on the internet.
Everybody, including the brass, were impressed with Custer's verve and courage. As Abe Lincoln said to his wife, Custer went into battle with a "Woop and a shout". If Custer understood anything, he understood the adascity of Cavalry. He also knew that cavalry was usually outnumbered and it was shock and awe that was required for Cavalry to win. And so he'd charge, screaming and shouting and slashing with his sabor. He did the same at the Little Bighorn (no sabor however), but he ran into more of the enemy than he could overwhelm and he was destroyed in rather short order.
@@daedra5651Yes jocko a complete fraud he was a failed seal commander. I personally interviewed Marines that where on the ground in rahmadi many had nothing good to say about him and Chris Kyle.
I read several accounts by writers who blamed Benteen and Reno for not coming to Custers aid. But it is most likely that Custer was more intent on restoring his reputation with his superiors. His judgment was impaired by that obsession no doubt. That was not talked about in this video that I remember.
Just your conjecture. Reno was a drunk and coward, Benteen was pathologically jealous of Custer, in fact a narcissist who didn’t have a good word to say about anyone. He kept dragging his feet on the back trail and deprived Custer of his ammunition despite direct orders. Everyone knew how little rifle and pistol ammo a trooper carried.
Overwhelming force of Indians, Custer was outgunned, and outnumbered, 5 to . And Custer was betrayed by reno and benteen. Bad situation all around for Custer, I've read books from different sources that there could have been as many as 5 to 6 thousand warriors. Nobody knows for certain, Custer was bold, but a fool he was not.
@@joelhermann3516 - I tried going to Wounded Knee back in 2020. Reservation borders were closed down for guys like me and I couldn’t get in. Haven’t made it back yet.
The "battle" of Wounded Knee was a very simple affair. The soldiers line up and pointed their canon and guns at the gathered Indians. A shot rang out and the soldiers cut loose with their firepower and destroyed the Indians. It was very quick and very deadly.
@@TheHistoryUnderground Warning. Be careful when visiting Wounded Knee. The Indians have set a trap on the end of the little road that leads up to the cemetery. It is a deep puddle filled to the top with water. If you try to drive thru the puddle your wheels will drop to the bottom and you'll be stuck, which will require some Indian to be paid to extacate your machine.
Probably wise not to put too much stock in every podcast host whose best defense amounts to little more than a “Trust me, bro.” The guy that I listened to (can’t remember his name offhand) came across to me as a raving lunatic with an axe to grind.

You mentioned Windolph. He also wrote a great book about the battle.
This was really good. Thank you
Great video. Thank you.
Well done!
What a fantastic concept! Invite famous warrior/hero guests to review the battle from their POV. This is a classic! Into the archives!

This is one of your best and that's saying alot. I didn't care for the real time lessons from the seals. I don't plan on going to war anytime soon.
Their whole consulting company is built on the principle that the lessons they learned on the battlefield can be directly applied to anyone’s business and life problems. They’re not training people for war.
One other thing to take into account, the native species of grass grew up to 4ft. The plains have shorter grasses now.
That grass is called "Buffalo Grass" and it is especially nutricious.

What was the most memorable experience from visiting the battlefield and was there anything that you learned from Jocko and eschelon front
I have been watching son of the morning star. Was the native village real 3 miles long. Did Custer and reno real enter the middle of the village?
Reno never made it to the middle a detachment or Custer made it to the Ford but was met by a group of natives and driving off
