	And, he had a wagon to haul ammo and a bunch of toadies to say it was a good shot. RHIP

	One of my favorite bumper stickers " Custer wore Arrow shirts " but alas it got lost along the way. In my estimation, the man had it coming.

	Good, bad or indifferent, all historical records have some bias, at least we have them. And the rifles too!

	Sounds like Robert Burns! Kipling did one about a Snyder Rifle that is one of my favorites, I will see if I can find it.

	Spot on Rodney ! I think you may be referring to- A Snider squibbed in the jungle, Somebody laughed and fled, And the men of the First Shikaris Picked up their Subaltern dead, With a big blue mark in his forehead And the back blown out of his head From grave of the hundred head. I also like kiplinhs the young British soldier reference to the Martini being a cross eyed old b—ch.

	After Custer's death his wife Libby did a pretty good job of keeping the Custer myth alive. She was almost as good as Custer at embellishing him.
