The posit locates a Gall indicated and Barry photographed cavalry fighting position, to the east side of modern Battle Ridge and facing east. The location was noticed considerably long ago (by me) in comparisons of the Barry image with the broader surrounding horizon backgrounds. Proving the comparison clinically will alter erstwhile theoretical work stemming from the the 1980's in publications of work and supposition that a primary interest of the 7th Cavalry's attack at Little Bighorn was hostage taking, perhaps in desperation, which failed at the first hurdle of crossing distant fords far below the battle's culmination above the river on a deep coulee which became a ravine. This work parallels, if not mirroring that undertaken by a trinity of battle enthusiasts for the book, 'Where Custer Fell'. Later technology offers the possibility of far better and quicker comparison data from the ground utilising advanced airborn imaging to survey the terrain, and importantly, develop refined and broad viewsheds to help evolve the poor and unmilitary mindsets undertaking earlier projects. My interest now is for a command drone able to operate over the terrain after the 4,450 mile flight from England. Return is not an issue since datalinks render the hardware expendable. The hope is to improve considerably on the level of detail here youtu.be/NECfqmY4kC4 and match the Barry fighting line to markers on the east flank of Battle Ridge, rather than the bland cursory view of the past that it is all to do with views west into the valley of the Little Horn. A 4,500 mile drone deployment..... hmmmmm............

Central to this tenet is Gall, and his 10th anniversary of the hatchet job. At that gathering, he gave a number of interviews, at least three including Godfrey, Barry and the Pioneer Press. The latter is tediously interesting for a number of reasons but and however, across the years, Gall has been wafted about the battlefield by a succesion of authors who place him, there, here and any everywhere (Spirit) with his bloody axe. Let's see what there is to be seen. Remember that someone has just wiped out your family in the valley and revenge is your duty.

Joomed copy from site app, and page image from app. As you zoom in, you gain detail in zoom. If that makes sense. If you wanted the highest resolution available from the site app, then it's save and stitch them together. Were you having trouble with the link?

It's best if it is blown up. Back soon, there's loud voices and knocking at the door. OK...... All a big misunderstanding. You could get a 20 feet across image for the wall, if you wanted.

I'll be upfront about terrain matching this image. This was done for 'Where Custer Fell' and Richard A. Fox jumped onboard using the west side, cemetery area to bolster and justify what romped on to be Cliff Nelson's inspiration.
However,I can match the terrain to other nearby locations, including that offered. Distant terrain features repeat themselves throughout the entire horizon to east, west, north and south. Those in the background of the Keogh area image, match to the terrain behind and to the NNW. They really, really, do.

Weird... account 2.. "Did you fight Reno?" "No; I only fought the white men soldiers down this way." "Then you know nothing of what happened at the upper end of the village?" "No, I was down among the Cheyennes looking after horses when the first attack was made on our village." account 1 "Reno swept down so rapidly on the upper end that the Indians were forced to fight. Sitting Bull and I were at the point where Reno attacked. Sitting Bull was big medicine. The women and children were hastily moved down stream where the Cheyennes were camped." Important as Astonisher says he was fighting Reno, and would miss intro moves by Custer...not sure if that is true. And this is your subject here(?) "it would appear that Calhoun's men died fighting as skirmishers, while Keogh rallied his company, which was all killed in a bunch." ... "Therefore, Custer personally and those with him were probably the very first ones to fall in the day, and Calhoun and Keogh, taken on both flanks, jammed in between two galling fires and numerous cross fires, and with all possible avenues of escape cut off, had nothing else to do but fight it out in line until the last trooper had fallen in his tracks. Very cool - keep at it! Because of the nature of the post battle blame games and CYA (cover your li'l donkeys), sheenanigans by those ensuring history remembered them fondly; and those ardently protecting friends and family in same vein: we have evolved modelling of events where the entire audience can dive in up to their elbows and decide for themselves which what was which, and where those which's whats were. A lot of it is very bland and obsessed and pedantic in unusual ways. Which ever way I looked, and look, at events of the Custer fight, it was a hungry lunch affair and that began at the river where Maguire dropped his 'B' on us. If you look hard at the evidence found in the ground on the flats which are supposed to have been peppered with army bullets then, that just ain't so. In 1877, there were a lot of dead on that terrain but the bones were removed which is tedious to figure out, but i'm still at it. Gall's account is unusaul, his accounts are not exclusive but he obviously had not slipped into a well worn tale of events at ten years after which to my mind is good. Of course it raises the spectre of interpreters and all that jazz but there is some real meat with the potatoes. I fundamentally reject Ford D as LaLa land from people who wanted to build a museum on that land and the snowball it was just keeps growing in the Montana sun. That annoys those who believe Custer went to Ford D but I say, there's no factual evidence he did, and if he did then he was repeating his attack at Washita. Benteen take a bow - he disobeyed his orders. Gall position in the tribe became political and factional as a rival to Sitting Bull so there were those for and against him but I don't believe that he really cared and was perfectly happy as a ruthless red killing machine. Of course, though, he usually gave Mrs. Spotted Horn Bull wide berth after raising her ire. The Indian accounts are unfortunate but it is truly unusual to have three from the same day. There are others such as McLauglin in 'My Friend the Indian' which is more an overview effort and ignored in mainstream. That is the Indian Agent at Standing Rock - point blank ignored Excluding a march to Ford D, and developing a quick and dirty overwhelm along Battle Ridge is pretty mush what took place. I don't see any significant delay or delays between start and finish with it finished when Weir got on his peak and his sergeant surveyed the terrain. The rest is romantis history. Reno wasn't worth spit in the field and Benteen would not know the truth if Custer force fed him on it. There's an interesting MAP in this book by Burdick, offered purely for Gall's supposed route to Custer. It's interesting - across the river at Reno or so and maybe a ford, and down off Weir to blunt his hatchet. Some of what Burdick gave is just bunkem but I doubt anyone then, at that time was going to argue with him. It's a theory. Regards.

Suns up in the east. If you read the 'Where Custer Fell' stuff at some point (It is a good book and full of good stuff) but this picture is an eye opener. Barry filmed early in the day.
