On this 125th Anniversary of the Battle of the Little Bighorn ...

For those of you who might be under the impression that General Custer was a one dimensional, genocidal Indian killer:

"If I were an Indian, I often think I would greatly prefer to cast my lot among those of my people adhered to the free open plains rather than submit to the confined limits of a reservation, there to be the recipient of the blessed benefits of civilization, with its vices thrown in without stint or measure." ... Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, 1839-1876 ... From "My Life On The Plains" (actually a series of articles written, from the field, for Harper's Magazine in the 1870s.)
