From CUSTER, by Larry McMurtry (Simon & Schuster, 2012)
"We will never know what George Armstrong Custer felt when he waved to his troops and rode down that slope to meet his death. What he saw, in the short time he had to see anything, was an immense melee of horses and combatants. My guess is that the immense dust cloud so obscured the scene, or limited his focus, that he never really knew the extent of his own misjudgment. It may be he even thought he was winning, until he was suddenly dead."
Cinis ad cinerem, pulvis ad pulverem.

Thanks! Cheatgrass is highly invasive. If it got a toehold in the area it would effect the entire ecosystem--as well as being very unpleasant to walk in.
