"82 Years and Still on Custer's Trail"
narrated by Henry Weibert.

Henry Weibert was born in 1915. In 1919 his family moved to the Crow Reservation and his father purchased the ground that the Indians were camped on during the Custer Battle. Henry attended school at Crow Agency and grew up at a time when there were still Indians alive that had been in the battle of the Little Big Horn. He listened to their stories and was a friend of the Indians’ children. In 1925 he and his father were pulling a ditch in a field and uncovered the soldier now buried at Garryowen as the unknown soldier. In 1966 he rediscovered the Crow’s nest, a vantage point used by Custer on the day of the battle. He is a true Custer buff and historian, loving his life as a successful rancher and a friend to many other Custer enthusiasts. He loves to tell stories of his treasured finds of shells and artifacts that were displayed in his basement many years, and he always enjoyed showing them. This video is of his theory on the Custer Battle and who really killed Custer. Approx. 2 hours.

Archaeology, History, and Custer’s Last Battle

On June 25th, 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, and every man in his 7th Cavalry battalion, died fighting Sioux and Northern Cheyenne warriors led by Crazy Horse, Lame White Man, Call and Sitting Bull. An American legend had begun. Custer’s Civil War exploits had made him a national hero. His loss came as a shock to the nation. Custer’s popular image, along with a general tendency among white chroniclers to ignore Indian accounts of the fight, and the fact that not one of Custer’s troopers survived to tell his story, granted writers license to construct many imaginary scenarios of the battle-it quickly became known as "Custer’s Last Stand." This glorified myth persisted for over a hundred years-until the archaeological analysis of Dr. Richard Fox. Employing innovative archaeological techniques, historical documents, the 1876 cavalry tactics, combat behavior studies, and the long neglected Indian eyewitness testimony, Richard Fox constructed a battle that stands in sharp contrast to the Last Stand myth. custer was on the offensive when the end came, suddenly and unexpectedly-there was no "last stand." With cavalry re-enactments, archival photos, Indian ledger art, scenes of archaeological work, maps and models of the battlefield, Richard Fox reveals his findings, and constructs the battle event by event, debunking the Custer myth in this vivid and engrossing video filmed at the Little Bighorn Battlefield.
