Custer SD after Labor Day?

[Ncdan]

Custer is infamous here in Okla.  He massacred  a small village of Cheyenne and Chief Black Kettle at the "'Battle' of the Washita River". 

If you remember that movie, "Little Big Man", there was a lot of Custer in it, including Washita and Little Big Horn.  Of course it was a western, a very good one, but not a documentary.

Yea LR, didn’t Dustin Hoffman Star in that old movie? Now I’ve got to watch it again as I didn’t realize the little Big Horn battle was implied in the movie. It’s been 30+ years since I saw it.

Yep, he returned and joined the Buffalo Bill show, went to England then came back to the res where he was shot dead by another Indian (a res policeman, Bull Head) while being arrested, They thought his influence would start an uprising. Lots of good books on the subject.

wow

One of his best IMO. And perhaps the best "western" ever.  Being non traditional, satiric black comedy.  I think it's game changer cinema movie of that era along with "Bonnie and Clyde" and "MASH".   I could add "2001, Slaughter House 5 and Catch 22" to the list.

Really great movies.  "Graduate previously and then the Godfather"....

Soldier Blue and A Man called Horse.

I rode the Black Hills the week before the rally, up to Fri.  The locals couldn't be more hospitable.
Drivers yielded much more than necessary for the bikes.

So, what's the prognosis?  Going or not?

This thread's doomed.   

Not necessarily.   It's only three or four days until time to leave IF the trip's on, so either the trailer's getting ready to get loaded or it's not ....   

We're traveling along so we have to wait and see now!
