Ian, I get along with Richard, I remember the incident. He and I jousted over whether the Cheyenne had numbers or not. That is settled. We still disagree on Benteen. If he can get under your skin he will. In my case he took as good as he gave. He may be coming to the battlefield this Summer, I look forward to his company and engaging him regarding Benteen. I know how you feel, but, you should forgive, you don't have to forget. Regards, Tom I hope you have a nice time with him Tom, just keep him off the beamish because he will start singing rebel songs and probably cause a fight. But you are right, I should just forget about the whole thing, because when I last posted on the black board, he had snuck back into favour and got his feet back under the table, but he never answered my post, which is unusual for him because he does carry a chip on his shoulder. But I will never bring him up again and the whole episode is forgotten, I mean it’s not like he is posting over here, or will he?

Chuck I had no idea that Tonto meant all those things, did anyone care to mention this to Jay Silverheels?

I liked things better before someone changed the meanings without unanimous consent. We have a Tonto National Forest, Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, Tonto National Monument, Tonto Basin and even the Tonto Apache Tribe.

I obviously belong in that Bar & Grill! This may require a trip to AZ.

The Tonto Apache are the direct descendants of the Tontos who lived in the Payson vicinity long before the advent of the Anglo.

It is not Chuck's fault I had 3 years of Spanish. How's the food at that Bar and Grill. As long as the roaches are smaller than the greasy burgers I'm in.

Yan Medium rare, baked potato, eggs fried sunny side up and a small side salad with Ranch dressing. A nice merlot would compliment the meal nicely. Call when ready. Regards Dave

Don't know Ian. They sure as hell didn't mention it to me.

Chuck I would hate to see what Kemosahbee means, “wrong brother” according to that dreadful remake of a movie.

It means you look really silly in that mask John Reid.
I actually watched that movie rather recently, and I think it only thought dreadful because of the sanitized Lone Ranger we were all fed in the 1940's and 50's. I thought the special effects were tremendous, and the lost love aspect between John and Dan's wife added a little spice to the story. I was entertained, but I'm easy.
What it reminded me of was the Sherlock and Watson movie - Without a Clue - with Caine and Kingsley reversing the Holmes and Watson characters.
You want dreadful - The Rathbone Holmes movies were absolutely dreadful if you are true to the Canon as I am, but for wartime entertainment they were just the ticket.

We really ought to get back on track though. Anyone have any thoughts on if or how Indian TTP could have broken up a four company move per JSIT that Ian tabled yesterday?

I think that the terrain gave the Indians a huge helping hand, because that river bank contained plenty of places to travel up and reach the battlefield, these would give the Indians natural highways to move up and find themselves in a great position to engage the soldiers, and I think that just because there could have been four companies, that they were not within each others pockets.
If you look at how Custer may have moved towards the ford (D), now E company was mentioned by the Indians as the company which tried to cross (I hope that was right, and they said the grey horse soldiers), now Custer and F company could be just behind them with the other two back further up the slope.
That would mean that if E and F were forced away, then the other two would try and link up or at least shadow their movements, all it takes was a charge by Crazy Horse and a couple of hundred mounted warriors and they are divided into two groups, then their flanks are also threatened by the warriors moving up from the river.

I can't see how they end up in a bunch where they are. I can see the half moon infiltrating procedure forcing L to retreat their skirmish line up the hill. I can see C trying to address that infiltration and I can see Keogh caught napping by infiltration around his position and then a mass from the gap to his north closing the envelope. Hardly any from I and L made it to LSH. I wonder if those from C who made it there (LSH) did so by fleeing along the west of the ridge and crossing near the gap just before the fatal mass arrived. Lots to think about! Cheers
