Unlocking the Mystery of Custer's Last Stand

[Diane Merkel]

Here is an excerpt from an article by a freelance travel writer. There are some obvious errors in the article linked below, but it's better than most such attempts.

Today, a visitor to Southern Montana's Little Big Horn Battlefield National Monument can learn what historians, archeologists and scientists think really happened on that afternoon in 1876. Using metal detectors, microscopes and CSI techniques, they were able to study thousands of rifle cartridges and bullets discovered on the battlefield. Because each rifle cartridge has a distinctive mark from a firing pin, they were able to trace where each gun was fired, and therefore, where each soldier fought and how well they fought. Coupled with new interpretations of Native American accounts, this has helped historians piece together the ebb and flow of the battle and write a much different view of what may actually have happened.

I believe DC's response sets the reader straight about the quality and truthfulness of the author. I dislike it when someone who knows very little about a subject interjects their opinion and not a view based on facts.
