Custer: The Final Mystery

This is a 3 ep show that probably could have fit into 1, and definitely no more than 2. But it is typical History Channel fare over the past few years. It is interesting because I did learn things about the battle and its aftermath. As to being stopped, I can see it from both sides. Clearly the Indians stripped and stole the possessions of the 7th Cavalry based upon shown oral histories. A potential burial ground would and should be of concern to anyone to ensuring that if it were one's own ancestors/relatives that would be treated properly.

Oak Island in Montana. It's all about the ever elusive cache (cash). I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I take my cavalry regiment into the field of battle I always look around for something really heavy for the sole purpose of slowing us all down. You never know when you're going to run across a 7-11 that only takes gold coins. Evidence... Look at this guys! I just found this thing in the middle of nowhere out of pure luck. Either that or the producers stuck it the day before.

True historians gag at crap like this.

It didn't take them long to lose their credibility with phoney information. They show an apparent archeological dig at the site of the " lone tepee " and find what they say is a period rifle cartridge. An expert later alleges the cartridge is a 45 caliber of the type used by Custer'a army. I don't think so. I'm not an expert, but one can clearly see that when removed from the earth the rifle cartridge they dug up was a newer bottleneck design no where near the size of a 45 cal., more like a 30 calibre modern hunting cartridge. Did anyone else notice this ?

Another silly show about a non existing treasure. How about "Hunting Lincoln's Alien Nazi Mystery Treasure" next?

I don't trust people who say "Calvary" when they mean cavalry.

Yet another instance of some "reality" show producers only looking to sell a program. Phony baloney. Just like Yeti hunters and that fisherman guy who bores us with an hour-long search for some maneater and comes up short every time. What scams! I laugh and use the remote.

Now I'm watching "Aliens and the Civil War" on History (misnomer) Channel !!!! Quick: back to "Andy Griffith Show" or "Twilight Zone" re-runs.
