Custer's Last Stand
George Armstrong Custer
Today's edition will be the last under the "Custer's Stand" masthead.
With publication of the next edition, this newspaper will be called "The Native Sun."
Here I am, just moments away from slaying the yellowhair in battle!
Dateline: Wednesday, May 22 (Day 2010)
Location: Little Big Horn, Lakota Territory
Reporter: Chief White Bull
Many chiefs and many warriors sing the war song before battle:
Little Bighorn Battle Song
I killed Custer
George Armstrong Custer had a good run for a while, there. Just over four years into this game-- some good, some just feeding the addiction-- it's simply time for a change.
I never played Custer as a character based on the name, and don't expect to suddenly develop an in-game personality of a Miniconjou Sioux warrior.
Chief "Joseph" White Bull was born in 1846, so we're pretty much the same age-- I'll still be, as I always have been, "the old man."
Until next time... Live like there's no tomorrow.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Had you considered "The Bull Sheet" as a name for the paper?
But White Bull doesn't give you wings.
Can I have your land?
Changing names is lame and makes things suck for people coming back

While many Lakota legends credit Chief White Bull with engaging in the final one-one struggle with Custer, Cheyenne oral tradition credits Buffalo Calf Road Woman with striking the blow that knocked Custer off his horse before he died.
So naturally my question is... Is there a Buffalo Calf Road Woman in this story too?

I've read A LOT of different accounts of Custer's death.
the warriors did not know that this particular battle group was led by Custer. he did not wear his well-known buckskins that day, and had recently had his long hair cut short.
he was not scalped. the only reason for not taking a scalp of an enemy in battle is if the enemy was a coward. After Buffalo Calf Woman Road knocked Custer from his horse and delivered a near-fatal blow, he either saved his last bullet for himself or another soldier finished him off to save him from being mutilated by the warriors.
most accounts by direct participants said that , since Custer looked like any other soldier, no one took notice when or how any one soldier died in the melee, and no one took credit for his death. to say that White Bull had delivered the absolute death blow to Custer saves face all around-- this story came up years after the event, and among the other accounts seemed most reasonable to put forward.
the absolute truth is... no one knows. even those who were there could not be sure. now well over 135 years later the truth is as much legend as the characters in the play.
