Timing of the parallel advances
Subsequent to the battle fought at Little Big Horn, June 25th, 1876, the information from officers present given in published reports, letters and interviews, was altered to rebutt the substance of accusations made against Maj. M.A. Reno and Capt. F.W. Benteen, both of whom held brevets.
Enduring studies of the battle have developed information given during inquiry conducted in 1879, which led to the view that 7th Cavalry's advance neared Sitting Bulls village near the big bend on Greasy Grass at about 2pm on 25th June. This was obviously not so,b based upon record and evidence available prior to the inquiry, and particularly record from the period prior to publication of serious accusations against certain of 7th Cavalry's senior officers.
It was of course F.W. Benteen who arrived near the village at 2pm, as related in Edward Maguire's report of July 10th, 1876; in time to observe and join the retreat from the attack upon Sitting Bull. The forces retiring across Little Big Horn river had arrived near the village one hour earlier, crossing the river to close upon and attack the buffalo hunters lodges.
This topic will develop the real times of the actual maneuver conducted during the attack, battle and anihilation of forces under the immediate command George A Custer, battalions commanded by Maj. M.A. Reno, the pack train led by Lt. E.G. Mathey and the regiment,s rear guard copany under the command of Capt. T.M. McDougall.
Reno's report dated July 5th, 1876 and information from Benteen, reported July 10th 1876, bluntly contradict modern assessments of thebattle which defer to faulty information given offered by Lt. G.D. Wallace, which is based upon the idea that Custer and Reno arrived near Sitting Bull's village at 2pm. In fact and actuality, it was Benteen who arrived near the village at about 2pm, entirely in accord with Reno's report.
It is extremely odd that research of the battle is today based upon so serious and obvious a flaw in time data, as that which Wallace's time of the place blantantly is. This is the type of mistake, error, fubar, that those making it will in general never admit and turn to zoning and fiction to cover up their error and mistakes. Such is life, let's hope these people do not offer financial advice.
Thus Benteen arrived near the village at 2pm, as Reno retreated from the valley at 2pm. Timing issues resolved chaps..... What?
