  • Summary

  • “You and I are going home today, and by a trail that is strange to us both…” The Battle of The Little Bighorn is one of the totemic moments of American frontier history. However, it is also mysterious, with the exact events of that blood-soaked day difficult to trace. On the 22nd of June, George Custer marched out with vague orders to drive the vast gathering of the Lakota and their allies, under the leadership of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, towards General Terry’s force, advancing from the South. Custer, keen as ever for a charge, was hoping to score a considerable defeat over the Native Americans in time for the 4th of July centenary. Then, on the evening of the 24th of June, Crow scouts reported that the Lakota’s trail had been found, and Custer launched into action. Marching his men through the night, they arrived at the encampment the following morning, shocked to discover a camp of thousands. At 3pm, the first force attacked, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn, in all its horror and gore, had begun… Join Dominic and Tom they explore one of America’s most mythologised battles, separating fact from fiction, as they build up to George Custer’s last stand.

impressions are not funny. they are not offensive but neither are they relatable or applicable

Custer? an interesting choice of topic. clearly trying to entice American listeners. what I cannot grasp is whether Custer was chosen in Irony or an actual attempt at brown nosing. Custer is an imbecile and the fact you spent a month talking about him and never bothered to say he was definitely dumb as bricks is hard to forgive. he is a disgrace to all things Midwestern and Ohio doesn't claim the fool.
