fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bataille_de_Little_Big_Hornwell well those who read study LBH in french will have to cope with Cornut on Wiki as the prime source and author of reference on the subject . Right away benteen and reno are under fire as the foremost historian cornut questions their role. figures? estimated 1/3 of the 1600 warriors were decimated, an exemple. Plus statements of sitting bull I have to verify but out of contexte or false in my opinion . Can I update Wiki? never done this, but this goes too far, david cornut the authority in french reading wikipedia land needs to be scalped

Wolfie:
Anyone can edit on Wiki . . . which is the problem with that. What you read may be true or it may not.
And that is one of the caveats with the internet . . . just because you see it there doesn't mean its true!
I wonder why the Swiss Miss doesn't have a forum on his site . . . it would be very interesting. Maybe those who view his site would realize that everything he spews out is not the full truth or in fact true at all.
Ah . . . that's probably why!

Cornut had battles going with the American Wikipedia folks a couple of years ago, and I think he was banned. At least he's keeping his nonsense on his side of the pond.

Isn't there a "English" version of this?
Never mind . . . I know what he said.

yes note that the only outside link is to custerwest.org
it says also that the latest research by historians show that Custer did good, and if Benteen and reno hadn't failed etc while there is a "controversy" according to this wiki among historians that reno was already out of order
for the losses on both side it is more or less conz : 1/3 = 500 indians hit against 315 7th memebers hit : so who won?
