custer was one brave and excellent cavalry officer. the only one more brave might have been his brother,tom. he bit off more than he could chew at the little big horn...true. but he was there and did it...nuff said
Custer's troops marched into a Cheyenne village in the Washita River in 1867 and massacred the whole damn village . 10 years later it was pay back time when the madman attacked what he thought was another unarmed Cheyenne village only to be met by more than 5,000 of the greatest little cavalry the world has ever know.
Garryowen is also a famous rugby club in Limerick city, and is also the name given in Ireland to the rugby technique of booting the ball up high and rushing on to it (an up-and-under)
this is an irish song and the brits trying to march to it ha look at these videos marching to st patricks day and a few others ha you sad bastereds have no culture, music or fuck all the irish have been fighting you for 9 hundred years we hate you and dont want you animals marching to are music
There is a Sousa march called Garry Owen where the theme appears in the march's trio. But what is the origin of this setting here? We hear Garry Owen at the beginning and the end with another song in the middle. Does anyone know whose arrangement/setting this is?
this song is a reference to a part of the town of Limerick, Ireland. Originally adopted by the British Army (5th Royal Irish Lancers). Beethoven composed 2 arrangements of this in the early 1800s, as did John Philip Souza in later years. It was then adopted by the 69th NY Regiment before Custer even heard it. So I am fairly certain that the credit for the US forces using it goes to the Fighting 69th.
not really a yankee tune ? A very early reference to the tune appears in The Life of the Duke of Wellington by Jocquim Stocqueler, published in 1853. He describes the defence of the town of Tarifa in late December 1811, during the Peninsular War. General H. Gough, later 1st Viscount Gough, commanding officer of the 87th Regiment after repulsing an attack by French Grenadiers When the enemy, scared, ran from the walls, he drew his sword, made the band strike up 'Garry Owen',
Thank you for the clarification, Major. My grandfather served in the 11th shortly after it was raised, when it was deployed to Cuba after the Spanish American War.
"Black Horse" is the ELEVENTH ARMORED CAVALRY REGT., garrisoned at Ft. Irwin, CA. It's march is "Allons! Allons!" NOT "Garryowen"
Often confused as the "Black Horse", but an entirely different outfit (incorporating a black horse in its insignia) is the 1st CAVALRY DIVISION, which also uses "Garryowen" as the divisional march (however, this was adopted after the 7th Cavalry first employed the tune). The First Cavalry Division refers to itself NOT as "Black Horse", but as THE FIRST TEAM.
they used this music a lot in the 1955 movie "The Long Gray Line" based on the life of Martin Maher who was a long time career Army enlisted man serving at West Point. GREAT old movie with Tyrone Power, Maureen O'Hara, Donald Crisp and Ward Bond.
The funny part about Little Bighorn was the fact the only Troop to actually engage the indians was none other than 1 of the scapegoat's Capt Benteen's troop was the only outfit in the 7th to do any damage to the indians .In fact he stood up through the fight while his troops kept asking him to get down but he stood his ground totally exposed to enemy fire encouraging his soldiers even took a round thru his pants .What he did in that fight should have gotten him a Medal Of Honor ,
Funny how so many find it so easy to trash George Armstrong Custer for his "arrogance" & "stupidity" (political correctness) but you NEVER hear anything negative said about the absolute stupidity of his opponents of the day. Oh yeah! They were soooo smart that they were militarily defeated in relative short order & on very rare occasions did they have the "smarts" to unite to take on the U.S. Cavalry. Little Big Horn is one of those "rare" occasions.
@museack Custer was arrogant as hell, you can't deny that, His "strategig ability" told him to go ahead and move into hostile territory without ANY support and he left the artillery behind because it would "slow him down" so, He actually was arrogant, don't deny facts! :)
@tenntex2 Allright then Mr Knowitall. Custer WAS one of Sheridan's men. so grandly taken they did kill him. hate him all you want, but he's probz the hero of gettysburg.
@ColonelGeorgeACuster ...go back to school, you flunked history, Stuart was shot by John Huff of the 5th Michigan Cav at battle of Yellow Tavern, Custer was in command of the 1st...thats First F I R S T Mich Cav.
@tenntex2 Dude, do you know how to have a discussion witrh NO insulting and stuff. So what you say Custer sucked? and they made him a Major General Randomly?
@AdmiralCSN , you are correct, however the man was stupid, he refused the offer of 4 additional troops of the 2nd Cav and left a battery of gatling guns on the Yellowstone, the man was a true idiot.
@ColonelGeorgeACuster ... just wonderin, hero of Gettysburg? before or after he was rescued? oh, almost forgot out of a class of 34 @ West Point good ol George graduated ...drum roll please...wait for it....34th.Stuart graduated 17th out of a class of 46
@tenntex2 General Pickket graduated last aswell. and if you think you know history so well you would have known it was not because he was DUMB but he was enjoying himself, a thing some people find very hard to do. Like people who always want to push their opinions on others. If i think Custer is Bad Ass you can do nothing about it.
@ColonelGeorgeACuster what makes you think I want to do anything about it? you stated your opinion and I gave you the facts, not my problem if you can't stand non slanted non revisionist history, nor is it my responsibiity to educate you, go to the library or order books to read, I was fortunate that my late dad was a student of the war and had more literature on it than any major library, not to mention he hauled his family to nearly every major battle site when I was a kid...lighten up.
Revenge is a word, 'that' does not stand in military terms, as a military action, therefore; when a military unit commits revenge, there 'is' no honor. Revenge is the only word you could put on this stupidity of killing old women, men and children. What honor is there in such an action? Therefore, rescind the Medals of Honor for the Wounded Knee Massacre (battle, in military terms).
Read the epic novel Rescue at Pine Ridge, 5 stars Amazon Int., the story of the revenge and redemption.
@Getoofmycloud The Garryowen was written by Irishman Thomas Moore around 1807 and adopted by the 5th Royal Irish Lancers based in Limerick ..It is named after a littlle town outside (owens garden) Limerick, Ireland.It was introduced to the U.S army by a Brevet Lieutenant Myles Keogh around 1861.

@JOAQUIM1237 1st of all......Custer was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Regular U.S. Army........his Brevet rank of General that he earned during the Civil War was negated after the wars end. The MURDERS of American Indians he committed after the Civil War were atrocities and crimes against humanity. I'm proud of those people who brought the end of his life in June 1876.
An English 17th century tune taken by the Royal Irish Regiment and then taken by Custer for his 7th cavalry anthem,a great bouncy tune that is beffitting of such great regiments..
@ColonelIRHS: "The Irish Jaunting Car" was the tune for the American Civil War Confederate favorite song, "The Bonnie Blue Flag," and several other CW songs that followed it. Lyrics to BBF by Harry McCarthy in 1861. It should not be confused with the "Garry Owen." They are distinct tunes.
@wbhenderson Sorry I have to disagree. I have the sheet music for "The Irish Jaunting Cart" and it is no where near the tune for The Bonnie Blue Flag. The Jaunting Cart song was a a fife and drum song in the British Army in the early 1700's.
I find that commentor 'SpecialEffects9' post about the 9th Cavalry was somehow flagged as spam - what's with that? Its a fact of history, why would anyone want to diminish their valiance.
14 years after the Little Big Horn, the 7th Cavalry was entrapped in a box canyon, and if it wasn't for the 9th Cavalry, there would have been a second massacre of the 7th Cav.
The Buffalo Soldiers, 9th Cavalry was rewarded with Presidential Parade Escort and Guard Duties for accomplishments, furthermore; the 9th Cav. received as many citations as most of the white cavs.
Read the epic novel, "Rescue at Pine Ridge", 5 stars Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
The tune was originally called "the Irish Jaunting Cart" and played on fife and drum by the British Army around the late 1600's. It had a variety of names and appeared in American vaudeville bands prior to the Civil War. It was played by several American regiments during the war and adopted by the 7th Cavalry as their official regimental song during the Indiain Wars. No one really knows when the song originated but all agree it came from Ireland as a folk tune.
@tenntex2 I was assigned to the 7th TDY in Germany in 1968. It was technical, so I could inspect NATO Troops...Just a short visit. I was an Aviator and CW2 at the time, and they needed someone who spoke a NATO Language other than English. They snagged me for this right on the spot at Rhein Main, when I was doing currier duty..
It was fun to be able to ask German Soldats what their General Orders were, "auf Deutsch!!!"
@wyrmsbane54 --Garryowen-its one word,its a little town outside Limerick city, in the west of Ireland,where this tune originated,it has words,which would be sang in Irish , also in English.
Custer also left the band behind on the day of the last stand..so he didn't go marching into battle with any music. He was known as "Long Hair" by the native americans... although on his last day on earth he had cut his hair shorter. Many pictures show custer waving a saber in the battle..he left that behind too!
Unfortunately Gen Custer was a rather vain officer who was prone to dash right into a fray with little consideration given to enemy strength. At the battle of The Little Big Horn Custers men were armed with single shot Springfield rifles and the Souix had the latest Winchester repeating rifles. the 7th was heavily outnumbered...Custer had access to gatling guns but left them behind thinking he wouldn't need them. bad mistake. Good march though.
I can only imagine what it felt like to march in a straight line towards a line of enemy muskets and cannon balls..... I really do respect the soldiers of the pre- napoleon and napoleon era style of fighting.. must of took some pair of balls to march to your death...
custer was one brave and excellent cavalry officer. the only one more brave might have been his brother,tom. he bit off more than he could chew at the little big horn...true. but he was there and did it...nuff said
