THE CUSTER
MASSACRE


To Editor of The Times:
Forty-nine years ago today
there was flashed to the world
the news that Custer and his
command had been killed by hte
and Little Big Horn river in
Montana. It is told that Custer
rode into the valley and took the
Indians by surprise. Later 1t Is
told the Indians took Custer by
surprise. The Indians saw the
soldiers when they came out Of
the hills. They watched the
troops divide into three COM
mands, General Custer in COM
mand of five companies, Captain
Benteen in command OF three
companies and Captain Thomas
McDougal in command of one
company and the pack train.
Chief Gall, Crazy Horse, Crow
King and Rain in the Face. Had
Chief Joseph taken part in the
battle it would have included the
four greatest Indian generals.
Benteen's explanation Of the de-
feat of Custer was:
Too many Indians, good shots,
good riders an dthe best fighters
the sun ever shone on. Two hun
dred and sixty-five rode with
Custer and 265 died fighting.
Only with the last shot came
silence. The battle was fought
tactically and with highest in
telligence on Clusters part. The
report of the battle might well
have been Clusters command:
No wounded-none missing
all dead.
Miles Keogh's horse badly
wounded-was the only survivor
of the fight, and lived many
years after at Fort Lincoln.

rode that horse again.

the midst of incredible odds--the
