Lewis And Clark Hear Rumors Of Gold
Lewis and Clark heard tales about the
Hills from other traders and trappers, but it wasn't until 1823 that
Jedediah Smith spoke of the discovery of gold in the "Black Hills"
|

|
In 1861 The Trouble Begins
In 1861, residents of what is
now Eastern South Dakota were organizing groups of miners and
explorers to investigate the Hills and reports of gold there. In 1865
they asked Congress for a military reconnaissance to do a geological
survey on the Black Hills.

The Indians Sign A treaty
The Yankton Sioux sign a treaty which
cedes much of eastern South Dakota to the United States and opens the
land for settlement. White settlers continue to enter South Dakota. A
provisional government is established, but it is not recognized by
Washington.

1874 Custer Sent To Explore The
Black Hills
Rumors of gold and the need for
military posts on the Great Sioux Reservation in the Black Hills area
result in the Black Hills Expedition of Lt. Col. George A. Custer.
Gold is discovered in the vicinity of
present day Custer and the Black Hills gold rush begins.

Deadwood's Merchant Class
Once gold had been discovered the
miners hit deadwood, and the Jewish Merchants soon followed.

Grant And His Jewish Advisors
Legend has it Grant was an anti
Semite, but the truth is he bowed to the Washington Jews. Adas Israel
Congregation synagogue, he loaded his cabinet with Jews, and only ate
kosher meat.
When European Jews wanted the Black
Hills gold mining franchise, he ordered the army to protect their
interests. The seventh Calvary was sent to take possession of the
Black Hills (and thus the gold deposits), and to stop Indian attacks.
The Grant government set a deadline of January 31, 1876 for all Lakota
and Northern Cheyenne to report to their designated reservations, or
be considered a "hostile".

The European Gold
Interests
The Rothschilds have
always been foremost in the control of gold. Gold is the only real
form of money accepted for the last 10,000 years.

Who Was George Custer
Custer was born in New Rumley,
Ohio, and he enrolled in West Point. He was
court-martialed, but was saved with the outbreak of the Civil
War.

George Custer Was an
Incompetent
George Armstrong Custer was a
pompous, egotistical glory seeker. His career was marked by
enormous casualties, even by the standards of the bloody Civil
War. In 1866 Custer was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the
Seventh Cavalry. In late 1867 Custer was court-martialed.

Custer Is Demoted
After the war, he was stripped of his
battlefield commission and returned to the regular army as
a captain. He was assigned to Texas to restore order, a
task he felt was beneath his abilities.

|
Custer On Trial
He was not well liked by
his men for he worked them hard while he went off to
hunt. In 1867, he was brought up on charges of
abandoning his command ( to visit his wife) and having
deserters shot on the spot without a hearing. He was
convicted of both counts and sentenced to one year
suspension from rank and pay.

Custer Fighting
Cheyenne In 1868
But 10 months later,
General Phillip Sheridan reinstated Custer to lead
the campaign against the Cheyenne in the Oklahoma
Territory. Custer denied the
Washita River massacre,
where he got the name 'Square
killer'.

Custer Sent To The Indian
Territories
In 1973 Custer was sent to the
Northern Plains, where he soon participated in a few small skirmishes
with the Lakota in the Yellowstone area. In 1876, President Ulysses S.
Grant that he relieved Custer of his command for swindling Indians. He
was replaced with General Alfred Terry. Once re-instated he lead
a 1,200 person expedition to the Black Hills, whose possession the
United States had guaranteed the Lakota just six years before.
Some have
speculated that the flamboyant Custer was considering a bid for the
presidency, and that he sought one more bold and dramatic victory to
secure his future.

General Crook, General Gibbon, and
Colonel Custer
The original United States plan for
defeating the Lakota called for the three forces under the command of
Crook, Gibbon, and Custer to trap the bulk of the Lakota and Cheyenne
population between them and deal them a crushing defeat.
Custer, however, advanced much more
quickly than he had been ordered to do.

Terry Tells Custer To Scout
The Indian Village
Meanwhile, General Terry had
discovered the trail of the same Indian band and sent Lt. Col.
George A. Custer with the 7th Cavalry up the Rosebud to locate
the war party and move south of it. Terry, with the rest of
his command, continued up the Yellowstone to meet Gibbon and
close on the Indians from the north.

Custer Decided He Wanted All
The Glory
On the verge of what seemed to him
a certain and glorious victory for both the United States and
himself, Custer ordered an immediate attack on the Indian village.
Contemptuous of Indian military prowess, he split his forces into
three parts to ensure that fewer Indians would escape. The attack
was one the greatest fiascos of the United States Army, as
thousands of Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors forced Custer's
unit back onto a long, dusty ridge parallel to the Little Bighorn,
surrounded them, and killed all 210 of them.

Custer Attacked And Was Massacred
He split his forces into three groups and was massacred.
|
 |
| |
|
| |
|
|

The Battle Itself
Custer divided his forces into
three battalions: one led by major Marcus Reno, one by Captain
Frederick Benteen, and one by himself. Benteen was sent south and
west, to cut off any attempted escape by the Indians, Reno was
sent north to charge the southern end of the encampment, and
Custer rode north, hidden to the east of the encampment by bluffs,
and planning to circle around and attack from the north.
Reno began a charge on the southern end of the village, but halted
midway and had his men dismount and form a skirmish line.
They were soon overcome by the Lakota and Cheyenne warriors who
counterattacked en masse, forcing Reno and his men to take cover
in the trees along the river. Eventually, however, this position
became untenable and the troopers were forced into a bloody
retreat up onto the bluffs above the river, where they made their
own stand.
|
There, Custer was prevented from
digging in by Crazy Horse, whose warriors had outflanked him and
were now to his north, at the crest of the ridge. When Crazy
Horse and White Bull mounted the charge that broke through the
center of Custer's lines, many of the panicking soldiers
threw down their weapons and either rode or ran towards the knoll
where Custer, the other officers, and about 40 men were making a
stand. Along the way, the Indians rode them down, counting coup by
whacking the fleeing troopers with their quirts or lances.
Initially, Custer had 358 officers and men under his command . As
the troopers were cut down, moreover, the Indians stripped the
dead of their firearms and ammunition, with the result that the
return fire from the cavalry steadily decreased, while the fire
from the Indians steadily increased. The Indians closed in for the
final attack and killed all in Custer's command. As a result, the
Battle of the Little Bighorn has come to be popularly known as
"Custer's Last Stand".5

The Calvary Arrives
When the cavalry's main column did
arrive three days later, they found most of the soldiers' corpses
stripped, scalped, and mutilated. Custer’s body had two bullet
holes, one in the left temple and one just above the heart.
Following the recovery of Custer's body, he was given a funeral
with full military honors, and was buried on the battlefield, and
later reinterred in the West Point Cemetery on October 10, 1877.
The site of the battle was designated a National Cemetery in 1876.

The Legend Of Custer's Ghost
Custer's Ghosts & Custer's Gold
Horse and human skeletons with cavalry equipment were found on
surrounding ranches. Some say the dead of the Little Big Horn battle
are still around, the ghosts that are reputed to have been there.

Crazy Horse's Book
A. Ross Ehanamani, a member of the
Sioux nation wrote a book, “Crazy Horse and the Real Reason for the
Battle of the Little Bighorn.” The book blames Jews for yet
another one of history’s misfortunes. In this case, it was the
pre-Bighorn army’s campaign to seize the Black Hills, a vast
repository of gold. A cabal of German bankers had orchestrated the
scheme, according to the author.

This Was 1877 New York
While this author seems to praise the
various Indian tribes she is really trying to plead her case for the
Jews ... it has been long known that the white man's thirst for gold
deposits up in sacred Indian lands led to Custer's military incursions
and ultimate defeat by the tribes who lived there. And no doubt Jewish
German bankers were eager to get their hands on this gold as this book
describes.
