"Reno
proved incompetent and Benteen showed his indifference – I will not use the uglier words that have often been in my mind. Both failed Custer and he had to fight it out alone."
Little Bighorn veteran William Taylor, letter to Lieutenant Godfrey, February 20, 1910

the 2008 reenactments
CUSTER'S GETTYSBURG
EAST CAVALRY FIELD (battle of Gettysburg, July 3), the story : Custer's stunning victory over J.E.B. Stuart's
"Invincibles". Custer was 23 years old and was made Brigadier General 60 hours before this battle.
This victory litterally revealed the military genius that General Custer was.
REENACTMENTS, 2008 : Wonderful video on the reenactments. George Custer (Steve Alexander, shown in the video) and Myles Keogh (Bill Rini) were present.
