DC's old thread has not been visited in a while. I just went to the nether world to see who is picking on who, what posts are being changed, moved, or deleted. and have decided the common sense level is about as follows.

As it appears that I, for one, fall into every one of her categories of a so-called Custer buff. Buchholtz wrote that "Others critically, almost gleefully, analyze everything their colleagues write", so here is what Ethan E. Harris had to write: "One of the most important standards by which we judge an account to be historical is credibility. There is usually a witness that can verify the trustworthiness of a claim. Even if it’s the enemy, someone substantiates the story. It’s possible not to have this information and so we depend on the chronological or geographical details in a story to increase our trust in the details." EEH "There must be corroborating testimony, either by another person or through descriptions of an event that are undeniably accurate and largely consistent with other accounts of the battle." EEH The Thompson narrative has always had it's problem with credibility primarily due to lack of witnesses. That is a problem that I have always dealt with. That brought me to the Thompson timeline or my "scroll" that has been in discussion. It is event driven, in chronological order, taking into consideration of geographical observations made by Thompson, corroborated with events and descriptions of events that occurred during the battle. That is what I do, besides scouring oral history, studying links to minutia, belonging to organizations that study this battle, discuss what others have written and several times put on my Cavalry uniform and participate in representing Peter Thompson. It is all good. Gerry I'm honored and happy you found that helpful.
I've long wondered about the nature of evidence in many fields of study, particularly in dealing with "Last Stand Survivor" stories. Why do some, like Kuhlman or Ellison, find a largely conflicting survivor narrative to be credible?
