that's correct - there were no cavalry in New ZEaland during the 1860s land wars, only foot soldiers or infantry. The 18th Irish Regiment (Paddy's Blackguards) was an infantry regiment. My g g grandfather was a lieutenant in the 18th's 2nd battalion.
Shatchett - read Philbrick's The Last Stand. He has an interesting theory. Also you can watch "The Last Stand" (5 parts) on youtube - it has the same same theory: At the Battle of Wachita, Custer took female and children Indian hostages and used them to escape from a hopeless situation. Philbrick believes that Custer was going to try to replicate that strategy at Little Big Horn but he couldn't penetrate far enough into the village to get the hostages.
Someone criticized Custer below - true he was outnumbered at little Bighorn but he felt the element of surprise might help him. He had previously criticized Major Reno for not charging and setting up skirmish lines instead so I think he felt some pressure to charge even though he was outnumbered because he had complained about Reno's lack of initiative. Basically Reno screwed up bigtime. He was drunk and scared and didn't follow through on what he should have done.
@stoneh2ovino I think you are right. But it has also been said that he charged because he expected the indians to run. They always had before. Not this time.
@shatchett0 the people who he slaughtered were women men and children who wanted peace with the united states but custer was a boastful fool who deserved what he got at the hands of my ancestors.
@Partizanton It's not fair to call Custer a "Hitler." He was following the orders established by US Grant and General Terry. Both Custer and his brother Tom served this country honorably in the Civil War. Tom was the only soldier to receive TWO Medals of Honor in that war. Btw, the Crow Indians might have considered Sitting Bull the "Hitler" of that region. You should study your history before you make moronic remarks about people.
Custer was a false General, he didn't received this grade during the civil wa. Cusqter attacked the indian village in spite of intelligence, Indians were too numerous and Custer has led his soldier to death for his self glory...Sitting Bull wasn't a hitler !Who create the indian reservation, who has driven, for example Apaches from Arizona to Florida? Not Sitting Bull but US Army...We all know how americans write history!
@Partizanton I just read Philbrick's "The Last Stand." Custer was a "brevet" General in the Civil War. He was promoted fast because good leaders are needed in war time. After the war he was dropped down to Colonel. He lead an amazing charge during the Battle of Gettysburg that helped ensure a Northern victory. He was vastly outnumbered but apparently he felt that the element of surprise might be to his advantage. You're French? America saved your ass twice last century. Be grateful.
Be grateful the first: don't you remember La Fayette? That's what I wrote : we know how americans write history...And we know that Amerca enters the world wars only because they were attacked (the boat Lusitania in 1917 and Pearl Harbor in 1941). Amercian politics didn't care about the wars in Europe...And today we see what "pax americana" brings in Afghanistan, Irak or Somalia.
@Partizanton America entered WW1 due to the "Zimmerman Telegram," not the Lusitania. The French King helped the USA in the Revolution to harm England - since when was the French King concerned about ensuring democracy somewhere? You are right, we did NOT care about the wars you Europeans CONTINUALLY started with each other. We got FED UP with them and that's why you have a Pax Americana now. Study your history - what did France do in Algeria and Vietnam after WW2? I'm glad France became weak.
Oh you're all right you nice american, you we're also "angels" in Viet Nam, you never support fascist presidents in latin american to avoid communism, you never support talibans against russian in Afghanistan in the 80, you've never locked up American citizen who had japanese roots in camps during WW2... you are so nice people that Allah gave you his benediction in september 2011...Land of freedom only if you are W.A.S.P.
@Partizanton Hello, our president is hardly a WASP. Kennedy sent troops to Vietnam because your joke of an army got routed at Dien Bien Phu. After WW2 France tried carrying on the imperialism of the past but was so weak it couldn't even do that. Please stop butchering the English language: "such nice people." Why does everyone in the world want to come to New York City? Maybe we are nice people. can I say that about the French? :P Watch Ophul's film about the French in WW2. Cowards.
I' m butchered your language but are able to speak an other language ? You talk about Dien Bien Phu, but what about Saigon ? French soldiers were not coward in 1940, but french head quarter was stupid... About coward and assassins in an army, did you see "platoon"?

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.
The 7th Cavalry was entrapped the day after the Wounded Knee Massacre. The 9th Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers rescued the 7th Cavalry.
Read the novel, Rescue at Pine Ridge, the story of the rescue of the famed 7th Cavalry by the Buffalo Soldiers, and visit website; rescue at pine ridge. com. The novel embodies Native Americans, Outlaws and Buffalo Soldiers, in the days of the Native American Wars with the approach USA. Story is about, brutality, compassion, reprisal, bravery, heroism and gallantry.
Before it was used by the 7th Cav. it was adopted by the 69th New York Infantry Regiment or the Fighting Sixty-Ninth. Before it was uesd by the 69th it was also used by the Royal Irish Fusaliers and several other Irish unit.

of course before the 7th Cavalry took the tune as their fine regimental song it was the regimental song of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment in which my great great grandfather served in the wars against the Maori in New Zealand in the 1860s (about the time Custer took it on as his tune) A fine stirring tune for both!
