Battle of Little Bighorn

General Custer couldn't muster
Enough men to form a cluster,
Indians shooting straight and true,
I think it might've been the Sioux,      ---- pronounced Soo
Had Custer in a fluster.

A better example of American Imperialism cannot be found....John...if time permits...read "Black Elk Speaks" he was a young lad at the skirmish....he recounts the Native American experience from an eyewitness perspective, the resulting suffering of a race is unmatched in time....the winners wrote the history books, which is always the case...jimbo

Yes James, I am fully aware of what was done to native Americans. The lieing, cheating & abuse. The absolute breaking of word given was diabolical.... nice talking to you-----John from Australia

I loved cowboys and indians when i was a youngster Jack, carried my six shooters and practised my fast draw. A little bit of history never goes astray either. Thanks again Jack for having a read....kind regards....John
