Hi! I found a PDF of a thesis at the Naval Postgraduate School from 2000 (it's available online so there are no copyright issues). It analyzes the theories of Stephen Ambrose, Richard Fox and John Gray, and ranks them by degree of feasibility. As I have always thought myself, Ambrose theory seems the less likely according to this study. Unfortunately the PDF is too big to load, so I post the link to the PDF instead: calhoun.nps.edu/bitstream/handle/10945/24301/00Dec_Burns.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=yEnjoy!

BD, I read that thesis also.It was interesting but no new info. I do agree with it's conclusion. Fox's view has always made sense to me.

Once a FNG, always a FNG. It's a glorious status because ignorance is bliss.

Thanks. I've downloaded the paper. IMHO, LT Burns, USN, was totally deserving of his Master of Science in Defense Analysis. I did stumble over his sentence, "how more that 200 U.S. Cavalrymen were slaughtered by what, historically, had been a militarily inferior foe." Had I been his advisor, I would have strongly suggested that he revise that sentence.
If you haven't already seen it, you may be interested in the US Army Command & General Staff College (one of my alma maters) site entitled "Atlas of the Sioux Wars" at www-cgsc.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/sioux/sioux.asp. I found it very useful.
Blessings,
Ray

Hey Batdet,
Oops. This is, I think, the same basic report at the USCGS "Atlas" that I recommended to you from the USCGS website. The differences are in the pre-production values, with the one you found of higher standard in the graphics and the USCGS one easier to navigate.
Blessings,
Ray
