Where is Greenpheon when you need him? Perhaps Richard Fox can aide here as well!

Before he modified his reply above, West had posted the following two pictures, identifying the first as CSS and the second as himself. Here is my original response in this reply: Nice jacket, David.
Now, stick with the West personality and continue to add something to our discussions. The support shown on the poll I took was most likely for West, not CSS.
Peace! Diane Clever boy! Outing you has been a great birthday present. Thanks, David!

Diane Actually my name is Xavier. The university with 10'000 people is the University of Fribourg, 1700 Fribourg, Switerzland. I'm currently writing is the sciences faculty building. You reached the conclusion too fast Diane. It is quite surprising on a LBHA board that hates conclusions.

So you are just David's evil twin . . . . Thanks for prompting my memory. You did write to me, and I posted your questions on a thread. ----- Original Message ----- From: Xavier Cornut To: LBHA@cox.net Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 5:58 PM Subject: Is the official version not biaised ?
Dear Little Bighorn Associates, I'm interesting in the Little Bighorn and maybe you know my brother, webmaster of the website www.custer.tk, who is writing a french book about LBH, who is about to be published at the end of the year. I wonder id the official theory of Little Big Horn is not wrong. There is many illogical facts that I cannot explain without accpeting the Robert Nightengale theory of Custer attacking the village. Here is my questions, I hope you could answer to them : 1. How do you explain the indian testimonies of Red Horse, Sitting Bull, Kill Eagle and a squaw, Martini, Davern, Godfrey, Edgerly, Goldin, Varnum, scout Goes Ahead... and many others, even Benteen and Reno, were sure that Custer charged the village ? Martini said to Benteen that "Custer is charging the village". Sitting Bull indicates the village as "the position of the fight". Red Horse said "the soldiers stopped on the edge of the village". Scout Goes Ahead said : "gray troops (Custer's F company) crossed the river".
2. How do you explain the dead body of Sergent Bustard of Company I found in the village site ? 3. How do you explain the army cartridges found on the village site ? 4. How do you explain the 7th cavalry dead horses found on the village site ? 5. How do you explain the death of the Gall's family (5 people), killed in her lodges of Hukpapas circle ? Bloody Knife is an impossible theory, nor the Reno's fight 6. How do you explain the lodges burned found by Terry, as Red Horse testified of soldiers burning some of them, like Kill Eagle and even Godfrey thought so from Reno Hill. 7. How do you explain the lost patrol on Weir Point ? 8. How do you explain that 1'000 warriors can leave Reno's command completly in a while of minutes ? The Indians have no chief able to command to attack a threat (Custer in the coulee as the official theory said) not seen, while Reno was retreating. 9. How do you explain why Crazy Horse did his angle-march ? He had a great strategy mind, I could admit that, but to command more than 200 warriors to leave the front battlefield for a circling march, with what we know about the Indians lack of discipline. The official theory is not very convicting. 10. How do you explain how Custer can just ride down the Custer ridge and find directly a ford (North Ford), without exploring the river ? Custer's luck ? 11. How do the historians explain why Custer send his right wing passing Luce Ridge, for which reason ? 12. And finally, a question for the Custer's buffs you are. It is not a scientific question, but more a question about the spirit, a question for the Custer's buffs you are. Do you think seriously that Custer waited so long that Reno was routed, that Custer was waiting, and after that riding in the hills, sending scouting operations on the left, well... touristic riding on the right, all along, that THE Custer, the Michigander command, the BoyGeneral, the Washita mastermind (the Washita strategy is an help to understand LBH),the "best cavalry man of the Union army" if we quote Sheridan, this Custer was... waiting for Benteen ? Even after sending the 24 men patrol on Weir Point ? That's really not convicting. The official theory appears for me very lacunar. But maybe you have facts I haven't and you can reasonably explain me all this facts which indicates that Custer charge the village ? Best regards, Xavier Cornut

Just like CSS/West to try to change the subject. Leyton and I are not related . . . we do have much in common regarding the LBH & Native Americans . . . but that's all . . .
You've been caught . . . you may not be the same person . . . but you & your "other" certainly "conspired" (you use that word a lot) to attack every one that disagrees with you then support each other's post.
Custer is turning in his grave . . .

I rarely visit the board anymore...it has really turned into a monkey show. I left after posting a thread called 'Custer's Death.' It turned into over 5 pages on Capt. Kangaroo, Mighty Mouse and cartoon characters. The subject of the board is the Battle of the Little Bighorn. I've enjoyed in the past really good discussions with Walt, GAC and Johnny Mac, all very knowlegable historians and quite capable of great debates. Why anyone would argue with GAC is beyond me. Probably one the most knowledgeable people on the board. I think a number of people have contributed to the decline of the board as well and several are so called 'experts.' Albeit, 'anonymous experts.' I would really love to name names, but I won't. Hope the board returns to reasonable adult debating in the future. I really enjoyed the good old days.

That is most unfortunate. Hope you do come back, Scout.

Scout,
I know it can be frustrating when people don't take your questions or points seriously, but sometimes we need to have some fun, too. There are still a lot of good, scholarly discussions going on -- in my opinion, the Indians board is the most amazing for that -- and people come and go because it takes a lot of time to keep up with the topics. Thankfully, most people come back and join in again as time allows, and I hope you will, too.
Diane
