: : I am amazed that  well over a decade after the archeological results were published, showing little firing by the men with Custer, that some web sites still claim hard fighting.  One says that the Calhoun men seemed to put up the most resistence, killing 17 warriors.  Obviously some pipe dream, since no warriors bodies were recovered.  The men inspecting the battlefield could not know how many Indians had been killed there, since there were no bodies.  Hell, they didn't get a solid count of the troopers lying there.

: There is no arguing that the recent archaeological information has greatly enhanced our understanding of the events at Little Bighorn. That said, ANY descriptive narrative of the final phases of the battle is based upon a certain amount of speculation.

: I would suggest that you read, in depth, the Indian recollections of the event. To the contrary, in fact, ALL warrior bodies were recovered. You might find out where those numbers come from ...
