Thank you for your information. I will try and find your article. Everybody makes mistakes and assumptions and the debate continues. Years ago I did a 1/72 diorama of Last Stand Hill and had a trooper with the regimental in the diorama and was told by another exhibitor at the Atlanta Historical Miniatrure Society that it was packed. I later did some reading and found those statements. I also placed the letters of the companies in the guidons as I believed they were still being used and from what I can find, I was mistaken.

I am no expert, don't profess to be, but I enjoy this site and the debate.......... right or wrong...one thing is for sure, this thread is huge, and even if the battle was insignificant, which I don't think it was, as it was the beginning of the end for the Northern Plains tribes, it is proof that it still draws ALOT of interest.
