I'm glad to say Keith that my experimentation with the dreaded weed was a short lived failure:) I found that I got the same effects with one good beer, as with an hour of hard work and hot lungs:barf:
However, I'm pretty sure the Morrisey lookalike wasn't an hallucination....

:D :D :D :D
Just exactly the same Pappy.:)
Did you know there were 20 some odd Medals of Honor given to the men of the 7th Cav that participated in the Massacre of Wounded Knee 1873?!?!?!?!?

Some folks say Custer got Siouxed and it went downhill from there and the rest of us ndns just got screwed.:grumpy:

And Abraham Lincoln signed the death warrants for 38 Sioux Warriors defending their given homeland from treaty with the USA from encroachers. There were I think 37 of them hanged in Mankato MN Dec 26 1862.:(

All of my heros killed cowboys, but ndns make the best cowboys, sorta ironic.:rolleyes: ainnit?

It's really nice that most people in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri have at least a drop of ndn blood and are proud of it!!!!!!

As said somewhere else, the ecofreaks attack and toss red paint on 60 year old women wearing furs, but not on bikers wearing leather jackets.

Rusty,

PETA actually made a showing at the Sturgis Rally this year protesting bikers wearing leather. They were handing out flyers for what they called "faux lether (vinyl)" in hopes of converting all the evil bad cow wearing bikers to their viewpoint. No paint was thrown though, and they weren't run out of town. sigh. ... the Rally just isn't what it used to be. ... :D:D:D

Brendan it isn't funny at all in one way. Should someone be that ignorant they would no doubt be made an example of.
The little feller that looked like Buffalo Bill Cody wasn't offensive as Buffalo Bill turned out to be a friend of the ndns and had several in his Wild West Show for quite some time. The Sioux Chief and Holy Man, Sitting Bull joined Cody's Wild West show in 1885.

If you're really interested about Custer and the 7th Cavalry do a search on http://www.Google.com with them as the subject as well as Wounded Knee.
The 7th Cav massacred Chief Bigfoot and the majority of his band at Wounded Knee during the winter in 1873 as Chief Bigfoot was taking his band to talk with Chief Redcloud. It's an infamous bit of American History.
The massacre was done mostly in retaliation on the Sioux for their part in the Battle of the Greasy Grass more commonly known as the Battle or Massacre of the Little Bighorn.
A search on Google will often turn up more information than what you really wanted.:)

Here's part of a partial search I did on Buffalo Bill and Sitting Bull that also mentions the Little Big Horn and has several references to follow if you're interested.:)

OK, I understand more now. I will look into it as it is very interesting. I have always been interested in the North American Indian culture. I have just been sidetracked lately with other cultural investigations.

I'll see what I can muster up

Thanks for reply

Regards and Blessings

As a point of information, General Armstrong Custer is buried at the United States Military Academy at West Point. (at least what they could find that was left of him). He was a graduate of West Point (close to last in his class) and one of the youngest generals.

Semp I wasn't aware of that.
Custer won his general's star(s?) on the battlefield in the Civil War IIRC.
From what I understand he did well fighting....... Took my own advice and found this on a search of Google....

Custer fought bravely in the Civil war and advanced so fast it made him cockey and that cost him his life. Everything. IMO Custer underestimated a very desperate people.
Like I've said before there are two historys, actually 500 plus historys concening what is now called the USA and even more if you consider the continent of North America.

In General Sheridan's second raid on Richmond the Michigan brigade made a most gallant fight at Trevillion Station; but so great was their peril that the colors of the brigade were only saved from capture by General Custer's tearing them from the standard, held in the grasp of a dying color-sergeant, and concealing the flag in his bosom.

On 19 September, 1864, he was made brevet-colonel, U. S. army, for gallantry at the bat_tle of Winchester, and on 19 Oct. he was brevetted major-general of volunteers for gallantry and meritorious services at Winchester and Fisher's Hill. On 30 Sept. he assumed command of the 3d division of cavalry, with which he fought the brilliant battle of Woodstock on 9 Oct., where his former classmate at West Point, the Confederate General Rosser, confronted him. He drove the enemy twenty-six miles, capturing everything they had on wheels except one gun. At Cedar Creek he confronted the enemy from the first attack in the morning until the battle ended. The 3d division recaptured, before the day was over, guns and colors that had been taken from the army earlier in the fight, together with Con_federate flags and cannon. After this brilliant success General Custer was sent to Washington in charge of the captured colors, and recommended for promotion.

In the spring of 1865, when General Sheridan moved his cavalry toward Richmond again, the 3d division fought alone the battle of Waynesboro. The enemy's works were carried, and 11 guns, 200 wagons, 1,600 prisoners, and 17 battle-flags were captured. On reaching Fred-Rickshall Station, General Custer found that General Early had rallied from his retreat at Waynesboro and was preparing for another attack. He there_fore sent a regiment to meet him at once. General Early was nearly captured, his command destroyed, and a campaign ended in which he lost his army, every piece of artillery, and all his trains. For gallant and meritorious services at the battles of Five Forks and Dinwiddie Court-House, Gen Cus_ter was brevetted brigadier-general, U. S. army, to date from 13 March, 1865. In a general order ad_dressed to his troops, dated at Appomattox Court_ House, 9 April, 1865, General Custer said:

"During the past six months, though in most instances con_fronted by superior numbers, you have captured from the enemy in open battle 111 pieces of field artillery, 65 battle-flags, and upward of 10,000 prisoners of war, including seven general officers. Within the past ten days, and included in the above, you have captured 46 field-pieces of artil_lery, and 37 battle-flags. You have never lost a gun, never lost a color, and never been defeated; and, notwithstanding the numerous engagements in which you have borne a prominent part, includ_ing those memorable battles of the Shenandoah, you have captured every piece of artillery which the enemy has dared to open upon you."

Gen. Custer received the first flag of truce from the Army of Northern Virginia, and was present at the surrender at Appomattox Court-House. He was brevetted major-general for his services in the last campaign, and appointed major-general of volunteers, to date from 15 April, 1865." He par_ticipated in all but one of the battles of the Army of the Potomac. After the grand review he was ordered to Texas, to command a division of cavalry. In November, 1865, he was made chief of cavalry, and remained on this duty until March, 1866, when he was mustered out of the volunteer service, to date from February, 1866. He then ap_plied to the government for permission to accept from President Juarez the place of chief of Mexi_can cavalry in the struggle against Maximilian. President Johnson declined to give the necessary leave of absence, and General Custer decided to accept the lieutenant-colonelcy of the 7th cavalry, his ap_pointment dating from 28 July, 1866. He joined his regiment at Fort Riley, Kansas, in November, 1866, and served on the plains until 1871. On 27 November he fought the battle of the Washita, in Indian Territory, and inflicted such a defeat upon the In_dians that the entire tribe of Cheyennes were com_pelled to return to their reservation. He was or_dered, with his regiment, to Kentucky, in 1871, where he remained until 1873. In the spring of that year he was sent, with the 7th, to Fort Rice, Dakota, and from there accompanied an expedition to the Yellowstone. On 4 Aug. he fought the Sioux, with his regiment, on the Yellowstone, near the mouth of Tongue River, and on the 11th had another engagement three miles below the mouth of the Big Horn.

In July, 1874, the government ordered an expedition, commanded by General Custer, into the Black Hills, which resulted in an unexplored region being opened to miners and frontiersmen. On 15 May, 1876, General Custer com_manded his regiment in a campaign against the confederated Sioux tribes. The Indians were dis_covered encamped on the Little Big Horn River, in a region almost unknown. Eleven tribes, number_ing nearly 9,000, had their villages on and in the vicinity of the Little Big Horn. The government expedition consisted of 1,100 men. The strength of the enemy not being known, General Custer was ordered to take his regiment and pursue a trail. He arrived at what was supposed to be the only Indian village on 25 June, and an attack was made by a portion of the regiment numbering fewer than 200 cavalry, while General Custer, with 277 troopers, charged on the village from another direction. Overwhelming numbers met them, and General Custer, with his entire command, was slain. The officers and men were interred upon the battle-field, and in 1879 it was made a national cemetery. A monument recording the name and rank of all who fell was erected by the U. S. govern_ment on the spot where General Custer made his last stand. In 1877 his remains were removed to the cemetery at West Point, N. Y.
