      George Armstrong Custer was not shot at the river. His wound to the chest would've been fatal. He was found at the top of the knoll on Last Stand Hill with shell casings from his rifle found under his body. His head wound either came first, which matches the account of Private Jacob Adams, who claimed that there was blood coming from the head and none from the chest, or the chest wound was first and the head wound could've been a post-mortem Cou DE Grace delivered by his brother Tom, or by Lt. W.W. Cooke near the end of the battle.
    • Quotes

      Reporter: What about the Indians, General? And aren't the Black Hills officially Sioux land from the treaty of 1868?

      General George Armstrong Custer: Whatever the right or wrong isn't the question. The Indians must be dispossessed. The practical question is how the inevitable can be accomplished with the least inhumanity to the Indians.

      Reporter: Didn't General Polk say that?

      General George Armstrong Custer: I believe in destiny, you see. For individuals as well as nations. Nothing can stop the movement of history.

    Excellent Docudrama
    I think this was the best film made about the life and death of a great Native American Chief. Chief Crazy Horse life was filled with much sorrow but he never denied his people any thing including a way to live freely. Michael Greyeyes did an excellent job protraying Crazy Horse. Others in the film- Frank Avina, Zahn McClarnon, Irene Bedard, Wes Studi, August Schellenberg, and the rest of the cast did great with their charactors. I recommend this film for every one especially those who want a better understanding about Crazy Horse and The Sioux Nation.
