I really hate to critisize Reno and even more Benteen. But I take alot of stock into what Miles stated. He was the premier Indian fighter and was highly respected by both sides in the "Plains Wars" as well as the "Apache War". I probably need to look into what Bearcoat Miles said a little more. I have also spent alot of time in Montana and worked in Crow Agency for a bit. Beautiful country, but rough. With the mud, creeks , and ravines it is still tough country today. Big ol' muleys everywhere though. "Gods country".
