Volume 43- No. 41

by lyle e davis It was a hot summer day on June 22, 1876, when under orders from General Alfred Terry, General George Amstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry was sent ahead of the rest of the column in hopes that they could be the striking force for what was most assuredly a large collection of Lakota warriors not far ahead of them.

In the spring of 1876, the U.S. Army had dispatched three massive columns comprising multiple regiments of Cavalry, Infantry, and Artillery. Their objective was to clear the Montana Territory area of Lakota and Cheyenne Indians and force them onto the Great Sioux Reservation. Custer's regiment was part of the largest column coming from Fort Abraham Lincoln, North Dakota.

General Alfred Terry commanded the campaign, and Custer was Terry's subordinate.

Not only was it hot, but it was dusty. Custer’s men were already tired from having ridden on the 23rd for 25 miles, from 5 A.M. till 8 P.M., and on the 24th, 45 miles, and then, after night, 10 miles further. Then, after resting, but without unsaddling, 23 miles to the battlefield. A sizable number of these recruits were immigrants from Ireland, England and Germany, just as many of the veteran troopers had been before their enlistments. About 20% of the troopers had little training and no combat or frontier experience.

The original plan for defeating the Lakota called for the three forces under the command of Generals

George Crook, John Gibbon, and Custer to trap the bulk of the Lakota and Cheyenne population between them and deal them a crushing defeat.

It was a lovely military plan.

Can’t miss. The military forces would be victorious.

Just one problem.

Custer didn’t follow orders.

Custer advanced much more quickly than he had been ordered to do, and neared what he thought was a large Indian village on the morning of June 25, 1876. Custer's scouts warned him about the size of the village, with scout Mitch Bouyer reportedly saying, "General, I have been with these Indians for 30 years, and this is the

largest village I have ever heard of."

General Peters had offered Custer a battery of Gatling guns. He declined them saying they might embarrass him and slow him down, and he felt he had plenty of strength with this troops alone.

Custer went off on his own, out of communication with either General Reno or General Benteen.

Since the time of Caesar it has been recognized that in a coordinated attack, forces must be in communication with each other.

Second, he attacked after being warned that there were overwhelming forces against him. The command began its approach to the Native American village at 12 noon and prepared to attack in full daylight.

approximately 80 Lakota and Cheyenne lay dead. Custer was among them.

Third, the division of forces. Had all forces attacked as one, Custer would probably have prevailed.

Other secondary reasons have also been assigned. Lieutenant Edward Settle Godfrey placed part of the blame on the weaponry. In many instances the Indians had more modern repeating rifles. Godfrey noted from his own experience that cartridges when corroded or dirty would not always extract and the cartiriges would have to removed with a knife. Godfrey also blames Reno's retreat from the trees. Benteen and Godfrey were of the opinion that had Reno not retreated, the Indians would have retired in the face of having to fight both Reno and Custer at the same time.

Cheyenne oral tradition credits Buffalo Calf Road Woman with striking the blow that knocked Custer off his horse before he died.

By almost all accounts, the Lakota annihilated Custer's force within an hour of engagement. Some accounts of the Indian wars describe Indian women coming onto the field after a battle and systematically bashing in the heads of the enemy dead and wounded alike.

Ultimately, however, blame lay with Custer not waiting until Gibbon's men were to arrive.

Custer's rapid advance had put him far ahead of Gibbon's slowermoving infantry brigades, and unbeknownst to him, General Crook's forces had been turned back by Crazy Horse and his band at Rosebud Creek.

Based on intelligence suggesting that the Lakota and Cheyenne were about to flee, Custer ordered his 7th Cavalry to attack. By the end of the day, 263 soldiers and

But, Officer . . . !

These are, allegedly, actual comments made by South Carolina Troopers that were taken off their car videos: 1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new.

They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."

Less than two weeks later on July 4th, Philadelphia was bursting at the seams with pride and nationalism. On the 100th birthday of the United States, people had come from all over the world to share in the theme of "100 Years of Progress." On that day, they would receive word that their famous Civil War hero had been killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana Territory. Americans were confounded in shock and stricken with grief.

Americans were devastated, but, none more than the wife of the fallen General, Libbie. She lived on another 57 years after her beloved husband's death. For the rest of her days, she tirelessly lobbied public opinion; portraying her husband as a brave, gallant, and noble figure struck down before his time. In spite of his early death, Custer's name would continue to

There is strong evidence that most of the soldiers’ bodies were badly mutilated by the victorious Indians.

There is conflicting reports as to whether Custer’s body was mutilated.

Following the battle, the Indians stripped all but Kellogg, a newspaper reporter, of all clothing. All but Custer and Keogh were scalped and mutilated. Singled out for especially brutal mutilation was Tom Custer, Custer’s brother, who was mutilated to such an extent that he was identified only through a tatoo of the Goddess of Liberty and an initialed American flag on his arm.

Suspicion as to who killed Tom Custer fell on Rain-in-the-Face, (Itonagaju) a Hunkpapa Lakota.

Rain-in-the-Face allegedly received his name as a result of smallpox scars on his face. However, Rainin-the-Face contended that the name was received when war paint washed off his face during a rain storm.

Rain-in-the-Face had been humiliated by Tom Custer a year before when Tom Custer arrested the Indian. Although Rain-in-the-Face was discharged by the federal court, he had threated to tear out Tom Custer's heart and eat it.

Thus, it was believed that Rain-in-

the-Face had his revenge.

Even after denials by Rain-in-theFace, the belief grew.

George Custer's body bore only two bullet wounds, either of which whould have been fatal.

Although Tom Custer's body was brutishly mutilated, his chest cavity was not opened. The stripping of the bodies, the unspeakable mutilations, and theft of the mortal possessions of the dead was done by others after the battle was over. Rain-in-the-Face, shortly before his death in 1905, explained to physician Charles A Eastman: “Many lies have been told of me.

Some say that I killed the Chief, and others that I cut out the heart of his brother, because he had caused me to be imprisoned. Why, in that fight the excitement was so great that we scarcely recognized our nearest friends! Everything was done like lightning. After the battle we young men were chasing horses all over the prairie, while the old men and women plundered the bodies; and if any mutilating was done, it was by the old men.”

There has been speculation as to why the bodies of Custer and Keogh were stripped bare, but they were not scalped and mutilated as were the others. As to Keogh, he was wearing a papal medal from his services with the Papal States.

It has been speculated that the

‘Custer’s Last Stand’ Cont. from Page 2 presence of the medal saved Keogh. In stripping bodies, the Indians were impressed by two types of strange objects found on some of the soldiers. One was a round object made of a shiny metal which ticked. After a while, however, the ticking stopped. One Indian, with experimentation, was able to make the object tick again.

Others threw the ticking objects away when they stopped. The other object was a round object which had a small arrow which, when the object was held flat, always pointed in the same direction. Some Indians speculated it was the magic which permitted the soldiers to be able to find each other. Wallets were found in which there were greenish colored paper with pictures. The wallets were kept and the paper thrown away.

As to Custer, the speculation was that he was not scalped or body parts removed out of respect. Low Dog in his account indicates that this was the reason. Custer was not in uniform and his hair had been shorn. One line of thought is that the balding Custer simply did not have enough hair to warrant scalping. In contrast, however, Dr. Will Frackleton, after being adopted into the Crow, was told that the Indians regarded Custer as insane and that Indians do not scalp or mutilate the corpse of a madman.

There was also an opinion that Custer's body was left alone because he was not in uniform and thought to be a civilian. Civilian status did not, however, protect newspaper correspondent Mark Kellogg. Kellogg's body, scalped with an ear missing, swollen and bloated in the hot sun, could only be identified by a shoe. Thus, it must be said that the reason the two bodies were not scalped must remain one of the mysteries surrounding Little Bighorn.

There had been some debate on the subject, but in a comment by Lieutenant Edward Godfrey to Custer historian Charles F. Bates.

Godfrey's official description was that Custer had been shot in the left temple and left breast. "There were no powder marks or signs of mutilation." In an 1892 article in Century Magazine, "Custer's Last Battle," Godfrey repeats his assertion that Custer was not mutilated, "All the bodies, except a few, were stripped of their clothing. According to my recollection nearly all were scalped or mutilated, but there was one notable exception, that of General Custer, whose face and expression were natural; he had been shot in the temple and in the left side."

Mrs. Custer was not completely innocent of the horrors that might be visited upon one captured by Indians. In her Boots and Saddles book she described a gruesome discovery while she and her husband were on a stroll:

“The body of a white man was staked out on the ground and disembowelled. There yet remained the embers of the smouldering fire that consumed him. If the Indians are hurried for time, and cannot stay to witness the prolonged torture of their victim, it is their custom to pinion the captive and place hot coals on his vitals. The horror and fright this gave us women lasted for a time, and rendered unnecessary the continued warnings of our husbands about walking outside the line of the pickets.”

The contemporaneous newspaper reports did not spare the families of those killed the gory details of the revenge exacted on the bodies.

The Bismark Tribune reported that some of the more obscene mutilations were visited upon the soldiers while still living. Nor was Mrs. Custer spared the details of what happened to other members of her family. Yet all of the newspaper accounts including those written by those there, indicate that Custer was not mutilated.

Chief Gall (Pizi) (c. 1840-1894) was a Hunkpapa chief and was generally in charge of the fighting at Little Bighorn, leading the initial counter-attack on Reno. During Reno's initial assault on the village, two of Gall's three wives were killed as were three of his children. During the battles, Chief Sitting Bull was primarily engaged in prayer and due to age never actually participated in the fighting itself. Gall was orphaned at an early age and received his name from his eating an animal's gall. Gall returned to the United States from Canada in 1880 surrendering in 1881. He attended the 1886 10thAnniversary observance of the battle.

But what was the reality of the Battle of the Little Bighorn? Major Reno reported: “After traveling over his trail, it was evident to me that Custer intended to support me by moving farther down the stream and attacking the village in flank; that he found the distance greater to ford than he anticipated; that he did charge, but his march had taken so long, although his trail shows that he had moved rapidly, that they were ready for him; that Companies C and I, and perhaps part of E, crossed to the village or attempted it; at the charge were met by a staggering fire, and that they fell back to find a position from which to defend themselves, but they were followed too closely by the Indians to permit time to form any kind of a line.

I think had the regiment gone in as a body, and from the woods from which I fought, advanced upon the village, its destruction was certain.

But he was fully confident they were running away, or he would not have turned from me. I think (after the great number of Indians that were in the village,) that the following reasons obtain for the misfortune; His rapid marching for two days and one night before the fight; attacking in the day-time at 12 noon., instead

of early morning; and lastly, his unfortunate division of the regiment into three commands.”

On the 26th, in accordance with Terry's plan, Gibbon was cautiously moving his way toward the scene. Warned by scouts of Gibbon's approach, the village was dismantled and the Indians disappeared into the Bighorns. The next day the extent of Custer's defeat was learned. Lt. George Wallace described moving to the scene of Custer's fight, "but the sight was too horrible to describe. We buried 204 bodies and encamped near Gen'l Terry. But the smell of dead horses forced him to move camp several miles." Bodies were down by the river, and another smaller group, were found below the crest of what is now known as "Last Stand Hill." There were found the bodies of Custer's brother-in-law, Lt. James Calhoun; Lt. J. J. Crittenden; Lt. Col. Geo. A. Custer; Custer's bother, Capt. T. W. Custer; Capt. G. W. Yates; Lt. A. N. Smith; Lt. W. Reilly; Lt. W. W. Cooke; Custer's bother, W. B. Custer; and Custer's nephew, Armstrong Reed. Some distance to the southeast were found the body of Capt. (Brevet Lt. Col.) Myles Walter Keogh. Near Keogh's body were found the bodies of his two sergeants, bugler, and flag bearer.

Among those killed at Little Bighorn was Custer's dog Tuck. In his letter of June 12 to Libby Custer, Custer wrote: "Tuck regularly comes when I am writing, and lays her head on the desk, rooting up my hand with her long nose until I consent to stop and notice her. She and Swift, Lady and Kaiser sleep in my tent.”

White-Man-Runs-Him, (Miastashedekaroos) also known as Crow-Who-Talks-Gros Venre, and White-Buffalo-That-TurnsAround, was the last surviving of the Crow Scouts. He died in 1928.

It is now generally believed fron Curley's testimony (a Crow scout) and from archeological evidence that at Cedar Creek Custer sent Companies E and F under Yates down to ford the river and Companies C, I, and L along Luce Ridge finally ending up on Calhoun Hill, thus, dividing his forces yet again. Yates was forced to retreat up to Calhoun Hill.

Archeological evidence uncovered as a result of a fire in 1983 indicates that a some point Custer's command was overwhelmed by the Indians fairly early in the battle.

With Custer overrun and dead, the remaining men in panic attempted to reach the cottonwood along the river and were killed on the way, in the words of one Indian, "just like hunting buffalo." Some Indians reported that some of the soldiers committed suicide. Thus, Wooden Leg later recalled: “[T]he white men went crazy.

Instead of shooting us, they turned their guns upon themselves. Almost before we could get to them, every

one of them was dead. They killed themselves.

Similar reports came from Foolish Elk, Turtle Rib, and Kate Bighead, also known as Antelope Woman.

However, most Indian reports were merely that the soldiers had panicked and began to shoot wildly. Thus, in 1881 Low Dog reported: “I called to my men, "This is a good day to die: follow me." We massed our men, and that no man should fall back, every man whipped another man's horse and we rushed right upon them. As we rushed upon them the white warriors dismounted to fire, but they did very poor shooting.

They held their horses reins on one arm while they were shooting, but their horses were so frightened that they pulled the men all around, and a great many of their shots went up in the air and did us no harm.”

Low Dog was one who returned to the United States in 1881. His brother was killed in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Kate Bighead's account was taken down and interpreted by Tongue River Reservation physician Thomas Bailey Marguis (18691935). As he learned their language and gained the Indians' trust, Dr. Marguis began to take down accounts given by the Indians as to Little Bighorn. He later operated a small museum in Hardin, Montana, and published those accounts, some as small paperback tracts which he sold in the museum. Among them was Kate Bighead's, published in 1933 as She Watched Custer's Last Battle: Her Story, Interpreted, in 1927. Mrs. Bighead and her family were Northern Cheyenne survivors from Washita who had taken refuge with the Hunkpapa. Mrs. Bighead describes that following the soldiers' attack upon the village, she rode a pony to the fringes of the battle to give courage to Noisy Walking by singing songs.

Her account continues: “In this way I could see what was happening. More and more soldiers were getting off their horses, preferring to hide or crawl along the ground. The ride by the river became a focal point as bands of warriors moved toward the waiting soldiers.

Hundreds of Indians had begun to crawl toward them along crevices and gullies. Some soldiers mounted an attack off the ridge, galloping on their horses toward a group of Cheyennes and Oglalas. The Indians scattered to safety, and the white men dismounted again to hide along a second ridge. As hundreds of Indians surrounded this ridge I saw one of the soldiers point his pistol at his head and pull the trigger. Others imitated his example, shooting sometimes themselves, sometimes each other. When Chief Lame White Man reached the soldiers all of them were already dead. Indians then attacked the first ridge, and again most of the white men were already dead. The

Not a certainty, but a first step in that direction.

Good friend, Arie de Jong, confirmed to me that the dairy industry in Central California is taking some big hits due to the high prices of feed and milk. A number of dairies have already gone belly-up, more are on the brink. The de Jong family is fortunate in that there are a number of them in the Central California area so they have been able to weather the storms. Arie, a highly successful dairyman before retiring to his other business interests, does, however, anticipate a dramatic rise in milk prices because of the declining number of dairies.

“I went to the grocery store the other day,” he told me, “and saw a gallon of milk for $3.50.

Gas was $4.20 a gallon. ‘This ain’t right,’ I said to myself. ‘I should be putting milk in my car instead of gas.’

Letters to the Editor Cont. from Page 5 I have become such a fan since you did the article on the B-17.

Anyway, since I had seen the paper on your visit, I was afraid you had missed the bright shining star of the VA John Spain. So you can imagine how pleased I was to see that he was one the three on your front page.

John Spain remembers not only the vets who come in, but their spouses. There are several spouses, including me, that really enjoy taking my husband to the VA for his hearing aids just because of John Spain. To enjoy transporting my husband is not something that usually comes to mind since it is wheelchair to car to wheelchair to office to wheelchair.

The gentlemen in the front as you enter the building are very interesting and kind individuals who I believe are actually volunteers.

“Civil War Round Table” Meeting Announced – The October program, “Missourians, Bishops & Generals: Demopolis, Alabama, During the Civil War,” will review how the war impacted this small town. Events involved numerous Missouri soldiers, four bishops, over 20 generals, and a wedding. Some Southern towns were fortunate in that they were not the scene of any battle or on the route of any campaign or raid.

Despite its strategic location at the juncture of two navigable rivers and a railroad, Demopolis was one such town, however, the war occasioned some exciting times in that town. The meeting will be at 7:30pm on Wednesday, October 17, at the Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood Street, in the Allied Gardens community of San Diego. The public is invited; the program is free, and refreshments will be served.

R. Goodman San Diego County Misinformation?

I've been a fan of The Paper for the last couple of years. I especially enjoy the articles on history.

But the GLARING misinformation posted on the front page of your September 27 issue in the story by Claudia Aragon was extremely disappointing.

Ms Aragon wrote " Just as the rest of the country has suffered due to the collapsing economy over the last eleven years".

What? The USA had a ROBUST economy, in spite of the 9-11 attacks, up until 2008 when the real estate bubble burst. Only for the last five years has America been "suffering."

When your readers consider that such a blatant revision of history must have been

Commentary Went to the debate last week at City Hall. Two teams of college kids, six pro, six con, debating the merits of the proposed vote on Escondido going to a Charter City status.

I was generally disappointed.

Pony-tailed Professor Brandan Whearty, who heads up the Speech Ommunication class at Palomar College, clearly enjoys hearing himself talk. I know this because I timed his prefatory remarks at approximately one day shy of a month. Most of us were there to hear the issue debated, not receive a lecture from Professor Ponytail. In time, thankfully, the debate began. approved by your editor for publication it calls into question the accuracy of all information you print. It also causes a reader to wonder if the writer has a political agenda in trying to mislead the public using a subtle falsehood.

PLEASE pay closer attention to the facts when publishing articles on history in order to maintain the integrity of The Paper.

As warriors walked among the white men, they cut off the legs or feet or arms of many of the bodies. Some of the soldiers were still living, having only been wounded, but they were quickly killed and parts of their bodies were also severed.

Only a few soldiers were still alive and able to fight at this point, and they joined forces at the west end of the ridge where they were surrounded by warriors and killed. When the shooting stopped the Indians thought all the soldiers had been killed, but seven soldiers were still alive and

I was disappointed in the calibre of debate, in the overall elocution of the debaters, their general speech presentation. Of the 12 debaters, we saw only five that were worth their salt. In order of ability, they were: Joshua Niehaus, Li-Ren Chang, Cristian Rojas, and Renee Laine, all on the Pro side (arguing we should adopt the Charter City status).

I was a bit disappointed, however, when Mr. Chang said one of the hardest parts of preparting for the debate was finding copies of the Charter Proposition. Apparently Mr. Chang is a fairly good debater but a poor researcher. It took me 45 seconds to find the Charter City Proposition as well as the General Plan Proposition. Both can be found here: http://www.escondido.org/ The resolution itself is found a t : http://www.escondido.org/ Data/Sites/1/media/PDFs/C CResolution2012-99R.pdf.

By July 24, the army had learned from Sioux who had participated in the battle the Indian version.

On July 24, Capt. J. L. Poland wrote a report outlining the events from the Indian perspective.

The Indian account follows: The Indians were celebrating their greatest of religious festivals - the Sun dance - when rumors brought news of the approach of cavalry.

The dance was suspended and a general rush, mistaken by Custer, perhaps, for a retreat - for horses equipment and arrows followed.

Major Reno first attacked the village at the south end and across the Little BigHorn.

Gustave Korn (1852-1890), referred to by his fellow soldiers as "Yankee," was Capt. Keogh's orderly and was assigned to the Custer column but was saved from the fate of the rest of Custer's men when his horse bolted when the troop reached the river. The horse

had taken the bit in his mouth and carried Korn through the Indian lines to Reno and Benteen's units on what is now known as "Reno Hill."

Henry P. Jones, also assigned to Keogh's Company I, later recalled: When the packs were ascending the "Hill" we saw Korn coming towards us very much excited, his horse foaming at the mouth. Sergt.

up group close to home named North County Singles and Friends of Singles. On Sunday, 10/14 at 6:30 pm., this meetup.com group is hosting a Live Prize Trivia event at Acapulco in San Marcos. The Acapulco restaurant is located at 1020 W San Marcos Blvd, San Marcos, CA. Live Prize Trivia is played in 6 rounds, with 3 questions in each round. Your team will be given categories first.

Categories could be anything from history, science, business and geography to music, movies, sports, celebrities and tv. After the first question is asked, your team will have the length of a song to discuss, debate, and turn in your answer. Once the song is over and the answers are in, the host will announce the correct answer. The teams are encouraged to make lots of noise whether or not they answered correctly. The host will ask the next question as the gaming, drinking, cheering and general shenanigans continue.

At the end, the top teams will receive house cash prizes! I hope to see you there!

Laurel and Tea are 1-year-old spayed female bunnies, IDs 58094 and 59095. Laurel and Tea are two adorable little sisters. We aren't sure what breed they are, but they are tiny little girls at about 2 pounds each. These two cuties are fun to watch with their playful antics. Laurel is dominant, but Tea is the more curious of the two.

The girls are pretty shy, but they are getting more used to human interaction and will take a treat from your hand. Laurel and Tea are tidy girls and are best suited to an adult home without children or dogs. Laurel and Tea are currently living in a private foster home and are available for adoption from the Escondido Humane Society, 3450 E. Valley Parkway. Their $25 adoption fee in October includes spay, microchip and vet exam. The Escondido Humane Society is reducing all adoption fees to just $25 for all animals in October.

Escondido • Mayor Sam Abed Voter Registration Approaches Escondido City Clerk Diane Halverson reminds residents that Monday, October 22 is the last day to register to vote in the General Election to be held November 6, 2012.

This year Escondido residents will be voting for two Council Members and one City Treasurer. Also on the ballot will be two propositions: • Proposition N – Shall the changes to the City of Escondido’s General Plan, approved by the City Council in Resolution 2012-54(R), be adopted?

• Proposition P - Shall the City of

Escondido be changed from a general law city to a charter city through the adoption of the charter proposed by Resolution 2012-99(R) of the Escondido City Council?

City Hall will remain open until midnight on Monday, October 22 to accept voter registration cards. During regular business hours, you may register at the City Clerk’s Office. Between 5:30 p.m. and midnight, we will be registering voters in the City Council Chambers foyer at City Hall, 201 North Broadway.

Rancho Bernardo • Mayor Jerry Sanders Last week, the City Council voted to move forward with one of the most important civic projects for our region – the expansion of the San Diego Convention Center.

Fortunately, the visitor industry fully understands the importance of this project, and has put its money where its mouth is – agreeing to fund the lion’s share of the cost. The Port, too, whose tenants stand to gain from this expansion, has stepped forward to fund a portion of this cost.

In approving the financing plan, accepting the Environmental Impact Report and selecting a contractor, the Council moved our city closer to building the largest exhibition space on the West Coast and creating 11,000 jobs.

The size limitations of our current Convention Center have cost San Diego hundreds of millions of dollars in business over the years. Some of our city’s marquee events like Comic Con have expressed that they cannot remain in San Diego indefinitely if we do not expand.

The expanded Convention Center is projected to generate $700 million in economic impact, and will be especially important to our visitor industry.

In voting in favor, the Council put us on a path to become one of the top convention destinations in the United States.

Long before fire threatens, plan your evacuation. Make a list of what to take during an evacuation (review and update it periodically).

Assemble an emergency supply kit to take with you if you are evacuated. Learn alternate ways out of your neighborhood in case the usual way becomes blocked. Plan how you’ll transport your pet; get a transport cage, if necessary.

Leave exterior lights on if you evacuate. This helps firefighters find the house in smoke or dark-

ness. Do no leave garden sprinklers on, as they can waste critical water pressure. Designate someone as an out-of-area contact through whom family members can relay information. Long distance phone systems often work while local communications are overloaded. Listen to local news when disaster threatens. If local officials instruct you to leave, do so immediately.

The key to safety is to design a plan for wildfire, prepare your home and surroundings, and practice fire-safe activities. If you have not signed up your cell phone with the County’s regional system, AlertSanDiego, I encourage you to register your cell number at ReadySanDiego.org (land lines are automatically registered).

Avoiding “Social Engineering” exploits on the Internet requires constant vigilance. Because the Internet transcends all geo-political boundaries, there are no comprehensive rules of law that govern fraudulent or criminal activities on the WWW. Each country is responsible for enforcing its own laws regarding the Internet. Western nations typically do have laws pertaining to criminal activity by citizens originating within their borders. Eastern nations typically either don’t have or don’t enforce such. As a result, most organized criminal activities are centered in Eastern Europe and Asia. Today it is estimated that 80% of Internet attacks are launched by international crime families.

Red Ribbon Week Next week marks the start of Red Ribbon Week. It is a week-long campaign designed to provide students with important tools to help them live a drug free lifestyle. During the week, the goals are to explain the consequences of drug use, to encourage smart choices, and to empower children to say no to drugs.

Right now, my district offices are working diligently to provide Red Ribbon Week educational materials to local schools because I believe this is an invaluable investment for California.

Increasing awareness is a key preventative step that we can take to help our students make the right decisions.

Lets say you, as a user, get a message from what looks like your E-mail server asking you to enter your username and password in order to verify your account. You comply not knowing that you have just responded to a “phishing” attack.

The “phishermen” now have access to your e-mail account. If this attack was for the purpose of “data mining” you will never know you’ve been hacked. The “phisherman” will use or sell the access to your account. Someone will be reading your E-mail communications and mining data on you and the people with whom you communicate completely unbeknownst to you.

Either way you will know about it pretty quickly and will be forced to change your access information, often by your E-mail service provider.

“Phishing” attacks are used to con users out of personal information.

Age, SSN, driver’s license, birthplace and date, bank account #, credit card and pin #s, addresses etc.

What may seem to be a harmless request for a single piece of personal information may be the last piece of data they need. Criminal “botnets”

are extremely patient and efficient at collecting data. It may take them several years to piece together all the information needed to steal your identity for some criminal purpose.

Never give out any personal information on an unsolicited Internet request.

The best defense against falling victim to “social engineering” exploits is to develop the cynical attitude that every unsolicited offer or request is spurious. We Americans, more than any other culture, are basically trusting by nature. These days that’s a highly exploitable virtue. Next week we’ll discuss some strategies for avoiding exploitation.

was he left the troops; he said his horse ran away with him.

His case was investigated and [he] was exonerated afterwards.

He was on the hill the 25th and 26th and proved himself to be no coward, having brought water a great many times.

The Indians were not all engaged at one time, he says reserves were held to replace losses and renew attacks unsuccessfully. The fight continued until the end of day when runners, kept on the look out for other units reported a great body of troops (General Terry's column) advancing up the river.

Korn was killed at the Battle of Wounded Knee in December 1890.

Lodges having been previously prepared for a move retreated in a southerly direction followed towards and along the base of the mountains. They marched about fifty miles, went into camp and held a consultation where it was determined to send to all the agencies reports of this success and to call upon them to come out and share the glories that were expected in the future. Therefore we may expect an influx of overbearing and imprudent Indians to wage by force perhaps, a succession to

“The movements proposed by Gen. Gibbon's coumn were carried out to the letter, and had the attack been deferred until it was up, I cannot doubt that we should have been sucessful.”

(Signed) A. H. Terry Major-General Commanding.

It is true that Custer was permitted flexibility, nevertheless, he knew the plan was for Gibbon and his forces to join up. Custer simply did not wait.

The lone debater on the Con side that we found interesting and fairly eloquent, was David Juarez.

I do not think I’d recommend my child take a class in learning debate at Palomar College. They more closely resembled a high school debating team.

Although, Korn participated in

the dash to the water, he was not among those granted a Medal of Honor. Not all of Keogh's men participated in the Custer battle. The only survivor found at the Custer Battlefield was Comanche, Capt. Keogh's horse. Comanche suffered from multiple wounds and a loss of blood. He was evacuated with Reno's wounded to Fort Abraham Lincoln.

Most sources, based on biographies of Capt. Grant, indicate that Comanche was evacuated with the other wounded on board the Far West.

ordering deserters shot without trial and refusing them medical attention. The court-martial found him guilty of all charges and he was sentenced to one year of suspension from rank without pay. A dishonored Custer was then plagued with a very different reputation from the venerable one he enjoyed during the Civil War.

After the military debacle at the Little Bighorn, after all the analyses were completed, after all the dead were accounted for, the results were in.

The fault for the debacle lay with Custer.

Comanche held by Gustave Korn Photo by F. Jay Haynes.

As noted above, the only living survivor found on the battlefield was Comanche. Following the battle, horses that had not been shot were rounded up by the Indians. Thus, as an example, stories have been circulated that Custer's own horse "Vic," ("Victory"), was captured and was later in the possession of Walks-Under-the-Ground.

The attack upon Reno and Benteen's position on the bluffs is renewed: A general rejoicing was indulged in and a distribution of arms and ammunition hurriedly made. Then the attack on Major Reno was vigorously renewed.

Up to this attack the Indians had lost comparatively few men, but now they say their most serious loss took place. They give no ideal of numbers but say there was a great great many. Sitting Bull was neither killed nor personally engaged in the fight. He remained in the counsel tent directing operations. Crazy Horse (with a large band) and Black Moon were the principal leaders on the 20th June.

Kill Eagle, Chief of the Blackfeet at the head of some twenty lodges left the agency about the last of May. He was prominently engaged in the battle of June 25 and afterwards upbraided Sitting Bull for

So, who was Custer? How did he wind up in one of the most notorious, embarrassing and costly defeats in America’s pioneer history?

George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) was a United States Army officer and cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. A graduate of the West Point Military Academy, last in a class of 34 in June, 1861.

Leaving West Point to enter the Civil War he quickly established a strong reputation as a great warrior and leader and moved up the ranks, ultimately being named General.

Those glory years were to become tarnished.

He was suspended from duty for one year. Custer was courtmartialed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for being AWOL, after having abandoned his post to see his wife. He was also charged with conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline, as well as for

At first Custer's men were buried where they fell, graves marked with wooden stakes.

The following year the officers were exumed and reburied at military installations with markers where the men fell.

Custer was returned to West Point. Most enlisted men were reburied in a mass grave.
