This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Tasunke Witko and Pehin Hanska by wetbird
The Lakota names for Crazy Horse and Custer. Pehin Hanska means Long Hair which is how Custer was known to many of the Lakota.
I've read just about everything I've been able to find on the Apache Wars since that is local history and my wife brought home a book The Journey of Crazy Horse by Joseph M. Marshall III, a Lakota Sioux raised on the Rosebud Reservation telling the story of those wars from the Amerind perspective.
As BI pointed out, my God, we belong to an awful race.
