"How many Indians are in that village over there?" asked Col. Custer 150 years ago, today.
"Exceptin' me, Joe and that Pawnee feller; all of them." the scout replied.
"I like my odds!" exclaimed Custer and he rode off to battle!
Sitting Bull, on the other hand, had been talking about a vision of a great battle with the White Man, where if they ran and did not fight, everything would come out OK for the Sioux. But if they fought, they would win the battle and all would be ruinous from then after.
He'd told of his vision often, and few believed him; many thinking he'd lost his power.
When Custer and Reno attacked, he realized that: "This was it!"
His cries to stop the fight were unheeded as Crazy Horse took charge...
And the Indians won the battle.
And all was ruinous for them thereafter...
