DucemusI tried some inconclusive enhancements... the right side face distorts. It's the only image of the set shot that day with that individual. Guess i'll try some face recognition if there's freeware. I am certain it is her but tough to nail down. An incredibly distinctive lady. It will be an argment what ever I say, but quite some potential. Regards. www.historynet.com/frederick-w-benteen.htm There's no doubt in my mind that Benteen went seriously off the rails by the following year, and she new an awful lot from Roberts who was there to gather up the news and had was the Yates side of things. Benteen pulls a lot of slack for the oblique, unwarranted as far as I concerned. His CYA is breath taking. Messed up Web page I am sourcing... link (in page text search Benteen) gives a take on the battle by Anson Mills - Custer now detached Benteen, ordering him to scout southward to determine whether the Indians were escaping in that direction. As soon as Benteen concluded that the Indians were not escaping, he was to rejoin the command as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Custer and Reno continued their advance down what is now Reno Creek, with Custer’s battalion on the right bank and Reno’s on the left. Benteen began his reconnaissance enthusiastically, but after crossing a series of ridges without finding any trace of the Indians, he concluded that he was being deliberately excluded from the fight. As a result, he lost his previous sense of urgency. In the meantime, Custer and Reno had proceeded down Reno Creek until they united on the right bank at a lone epee containing the body of a warrior mortally wounded in the Rosebud fight. At the tepee, Custer’s scouts reported that they could see the Sioux pony herd and Indians running in the distance.
At 1503, Reno, ordered his men to advance down the valley. As their horses accelerated to a fast trot, several officers and men in the advancing line could see troopers from Custer’s battalion on the bluffs to the east, beyond the Little Bighorn. They could also see a swarm of Indian warriors gathering at the southern edge of the village. At the same time, Reno’s Indian scouts, who initially formed the left flank of his line, veered westward toward the Indian pony herd on the bench above the Little Bighorn. Their task was to drive off as much of the herd as possible to prevent the Indians’ escape. At 1513, officers and men in the charging line once again saw soldiers on the crest of the hill across the Little Bighorn. Several of Reno’s men later testified that they could clearly see Custer waving his hat to the line of horsemen in the valley. Based around the W.A. Graham time analysis from RCoI. I hope there are sources or a bibliography.

DucemusIt is her. Most people are happy to believe Reno's BS at RCoI that he 'selected' his hill across the river as the best place to go! The best terrain there to be seen upon, was Weir's heights... and his officer's knew Custer was up there. Reno says he did not know, and had his charge driven into the river. It is record, in published report that Wallace knew where Custer went. He told this to McClernand before McClernand told Wallace that Custer was dead. This was before they arrived to Reno on Reno Hill and Terry was told the fighting there raged all day from 2:30 pm. The consequence of Reno's CYA debrief, was that Terry concluded to halt pursuit of the hostiles and sit the expedition on its duff all summer long, with a hot trail months looked for, abandoned. All because Reno could not do his job. He was a female cat! The five companies were cut off - Benteen could have saved them.

DucemusNot at all, at all. Her presence was not reported. Almost certainly because she wasn't there!! She says she wasn't there, her biographers say she wasn't there, that isn't a picture of her but Herorest says....
Bit like most of your other theories it's..... (what that album by the Sex Pistols called?)

If you came here expecting charm sunshine you came to the wrong place. Now you have given me all the bullshit boiler plate, now give me substance. Answer the question I posed. If you do not have an answer say so and don't try to bullshit your way through it throwing cotton candy in my face. Crap or get off the pot. Read a map, form your concept, identify the position, and give me YOUR actions and orders. You want to swim with the sharks, then d**n it swim or get the hell out of the water. You are not unlike all the amateurs,at least at first, thinking that all battles are won by firepower. More battles have been won over the centuries by maneuver and subsequent displacement, than have ever been decided by firepower. And also with QC, I'll say this. When surmising your enemys strengths and reactions always , always, always, try and estimate what HE , that enemy, may know about you and , your whole, in this case, 3 pronged attack. Of course , one prong went home and Terry was not really available yet. I think those Indians knew exactly that .Custer wasn't sure.
