George Custer shot from the saddle had never happened before, and was (apparently) a possibility not well planned for in advance. I believe I stated earlier, my belief was that Custer was forced to abandon his original time-table, and the preferred positioning of his forces prior to attack. A Washita-style approach was likely what he had in mind, and he tried to stick with it, but unknown distances and unsuspected circumstances were the undoing.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C87351C4-4E6C-4C14-A050-8E3E0633DEC4/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
