#General Custer

[mahgnib]

One of the great military fiascos of American history, The Battle of the Little Bighorn, took place on this date in 1876. There were no photojournalists present, to be certain, but we do have pictographs by one of the Lakota participants in the battle, Red Horse. It’s difficult to really see very much, and well-nigh impossible for a non-expert to interpret more than a fraction of what is being depicted. But as the only visual record of the event by an eyewitness, these are of historical value, if nothing else.

Covers on both by Dick Ayers. The events in the earlier story seems to have slipped past the editorial team though as there is no indication either party met before in the later issue.

Did Buffalo Bill invent the Wild West?

Buffalo Bill is often accused of having invented a fake Wild West in his shows but TV historian Tony McMahon begs to differ

You’ve heard of Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, Chief Sitting Bull, and of course – Buffalo Bill. Those great heroes of the Wild West who created the United States of America. Frontier folk laughing in the face of danger. Battling the fearsome Sioux and Cheyenne. Free spirits living by their own code of honour at the expanding new frontiers of America. A tough life punctuated by gunfights and…

Imma punch Andrew Jackson so fucking hard it’s gonna break teeth

Wait can I have more than one? I want to also break General Custer’s nose

Oh and Ronald Reagan.

Actually can I fuck shit up and go after the Pinkertons? It would be so funny

Actually can we just line up all the presidents for a smack down

I have so many people I would love to get my hands on, with a baseball bat
