www.fiddlersgreenstudio.com/www.thelbha.org/review04.shtmlAccording to Camp's interview of Soldier, he fell beind from the Lone Tepee. The messener meeting Custer when the coat was taken off, therefore met Custer at the Lone Tepee. The address to his troops had also to have taken place then, at the White Buttes tepee. Best wishes Fred.

The messenger who met Custer near the tepee at White Buttesnear the southern fork from Reno Creek.curtis.library.northwestern.edu/curtis/viewPage?id=nai.03.book.00000083&size=2&showp=1&volume=3 Before leaving the summit one Crow scout, Hairy Moccasins, was sent ahead to scan the ground and obtain a closer view of the village. Proceeding down the valley, past the oft-mentioned death-lodge of a Sioux, he climbed a pine-clad hill near the junction of the middle and north branches of Reno creek,'
Observing the Sioux everywhere across the Little Bighorn, and a few, who were presumably Sioux scouts, in the valley of Reno creek. Hairy Moccasins rode back and reported the size and position of the Sioux encampment, and said the hostiles were not running away, as had been thought.
On receiving this report Custer hurried the command down the valley and halted at the junction of the two forks on a fair-sized flat, now, as it probably was then, a prairie-dog village. At this point White Man Runs Him designated to the author the site where the troops were halted and the spot where Custer stood. This was where Custer and Reno separated.

HR the links don’t work…. As they say in Yorkshire ‘’it’s a reet loward ov sheet’’ translated in English it means ‘’a right load of crap’’. Ian. Having traveled in England, Scotland and Wales I came away wondering why people think we all speak English . Love the accent though!

Are but we do though, England and the USA speak English but the trouble is that you pronounce certain words wrong that’s all, I don’t know what you made of the Welsh language, it always reminds me of someone trying to clear their throat.

Ah yes, the Welsh language. As I recall I saw about ten road signs indicating varying villages/towns and not one had a vowel in any word! How does one pronounce Llyggklfrnny ?? LOL. But it's a beautiful country - what I could see from a downpour of absolute Noahic dimensions. I also was in Scotland and had chance to listen to an older Scotsman talking to his grandson (I think). I probably understood three words out of a ten minute discussion. Gotta love 'em. I must admit, at the time of said conversation I was enjoying an excellent scotch - not that that interferred with my cognition...hehehe

Scott, a Hopkins LAX logo, no wonder you have problems with English, heck the fact that you are on a site concerned with history is amazing in and of itself. Just kidding! I have monitored this site many times, and garnered much worthwhile info. This discussion prompted my first reply, as it alludes to Peter Thompson and his tale, a story I have yet to figure out. Thank you all for the education and food for thought.

... it alludes to Peter Thompson and his tale, a story I have yet to figure out. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger; no one else has, either. Except maybe Gerry... and while I really like Gerry a lot-- seriously-- he and I are at diametrical ends regarding Mr. Thompson. Best wishes, Fred.

I tend to treat Thompson with some measure of respect, if for no other reason, his Medal of Honor.
Thomson like Martini as they grew older seemed to insert themselves more, or further into the narrative. There is a point in that narrative where they both belong. That is fact. What is not known is the limitations of their involvement. Martini got closer to the final battle area before he was dispatched, with each telling of the tale. As far as I can tell Thompson pretty much stuck to one story, so I believe finding the proper measure of his truth telling is more difficult.
I put both down to the memories of bygone days being brighter and more adventure filled than the reality of the matter. If they believed what they said I think that is all that matters. It is up to those coming along much later to accept what they wish.

Thank you all for the education and food for thought. The fact I am from BALTIMORE explains any problem I have with the English language. As to history? Hmmm...considering B'more is the home of Fort McHenry, the Battle of North Point and The Star Spangled Banner I have some basics; at least a bit more than most who sing the anthem at sports events, funerals and the like .

Scott: Please don't overlook the fact that Baltimore was the birthplace of the Liberty Ship, the first being SS Patrick Henry built at the Bethlehem Steel Fairfield Yard. The ship (at least the type) that won World War II.

Have you heard the Jimi Hendrix version of the “Star Spangled Banner’’? He played it a Woodstock in 1969, and for an Ex-Paratrooper he played it beautifully.
Ian.
