It wasn't over in 30 minutes The command sent 2 dispatch riders to benteen. Most indian engagements were done with various bands so different acts of bravery could be noted...many indian accounts talk of berserking indian youth sucidely threw rhemselves at troopers to open paths of attack...1 small unit from laststandhill made attempt to ride to top of bluffs overlooking river...indians attacking reno started to leave for custer after 1--1.5 hour?.cpt weir left benteen after watching custer engagement at least 1-2hrs after watching
THIS STORY is a load of crap! Custer was shot close to the river when Benteen was on retreat! His dead weight made it a scramble back up the hill with Custer's body! OF COURSE, Custer was the only one to NOT be mutilated because he was their leader! Word is sewing needles were jabbed into the ears of his corpse so that 'he might hear better in the afterlife'! Of course the last 2 guys would slant the entire battle to whatever they wanted to say! Indian customs is the ONLY THING that spared Custer's body and he was dead BEFORE THE LAST STAND HILL!

Thank you for this video. Very interesting.😁
Indians had healthy fresh horses and repeater rifles. Fighting for home and family is the greatest power on earth. Custer was a cowardly ass.
This account suggests that Custer and his men had already been killed by the time Reno engaged the braves in the southern part if the village.

So you witnessed it?
left un mutilated due to respect eh? I thought the whole point of mutilation was to render an enemy powerless of revenge in the afterlife?
You lie
