I think he exagerated. From Luce Ridge you might be able to see some of the bluffs farther back but I know I haven't been able to see any part of the MTC area where the skirmishing took place from the bluffs. If Custer were anywhere but the eastern most side of Luce Ridge he couldn't have seen the bluffs. Besides, by the time Reno and Benteen hit the bluffs Custer was probably north of Calhoun Hill. I will check again this summer. I have video tape I took about five or six years ago I will check in the mean time.

I'll have to pull up the info tomorrow. Michno makes it very clear where he is on the field when he speaks of seeing Reno Hill from East Ridge. He also makes it clear that some ridges are incorrectly named or incorrectly mentioned. As in someone might say East when they mean something else, due to the lack of official names for topography that previously didn't matter.
