Yes, I have also read similar from cheyenne accounts. They say that they lay in wait along the benches, just watching the columns coming down from the high ground trying to reach the river. About Custer being hit first, well many say that this accured at ford B, but I think if it did happen then it was Ford D. A wounded Custer, would make sense with Tom Custer being at his side and bad decision making by other officers. Ian I wonder if the officer wearing the buckskin jacket shot off his horse wasn`t Algernon Smith?Both Custer and Cooke had taken their jackets off due to the heat.I read somewhere that Smith had so bad injuries from the Civil War that he needed help in putting on and off jackets.Maybe he still had his jacket on.It was believed upon examining Custer`s body that he apparently had a pistol taken out of his hand after death.There is some testimony of Indian warriors of a certain soldier behind a dead horse with a pistol in his hand and blood coming out of his mouth.Custer`s chest wound would account for blood coming out of mouth?
