| Video Discription | On the afternoon of June 25th, 1876, Lt Col George Armstrong led his column of the Seventh Cavalry in an attack on the combined forces of the Lakota and Cheyenne camped near the Little Bighorn River in Montana. Two columns of the seventh cavalry, one under Major Marcus Reno and another under Captain Frederick Benteen, remained a few miles away while Custer and his men famously fought to the death. Less famous is the story of the one officer who consistently tried to hurry the other members of the Seventh Cavalry to go to the sound of Custer’s guns, and that man was Captain Thomas Weir. Thomas Weir survived the Little Bighorn fight. But he created great controversy when he shared his version of the events that happened that day, and he died much too young, haunted and alone. ... Books that talk about Thomas Weir: Chuck Merkel's dissertation (you can download online): Custer's Forgotten Lieutenant: Thomas B. Weir Custer Come At Once! The Fort Hays Years of George and Elizabeth Custer, by Father Blaine Burkey Good biographies of Custer or well-researched histories of the Little Bighorn fight by Donovan, Leckie, Stiles, Frost, Utley, Graham, Carroll, Liddic, etc. ...
