Where did you hear that? I can't find any reference to such . Can you?
I just love it when people make up things because it suits their narrow minded "America is bad" ideology.
"Black Kettle, his wife, and more than 150 Cheyenne and Arapaho had just been exterminated, and Custer's 7th was burning the lodges and all their contents, thus stripping them of all survival means. Sheridan would wait until all their dogs had been eaten before allowing[?] them into subjugation, then Custer would rape the women hostages in captivity."

Another.
"The Cheyenne women were "transported" by an officer named Romero to the other officers once they were prisoners at Fort Cobb.
Rape.
Custer "enjoyed one" every evening in the privacy of his tent. Presumably, he stopped raping the Cheyenne women when his wife arrived."

......go figure. Probably copy right issues.
I thought it might be the pejorative term that Custer uses for Indian women, but altering the word brought no difference in result.

Originally posted by WulebgrI tried to copy and paste from a website(the name escapes me now) and as soon as I tried to paste it I was told it was inappropriate. There really was nothing inappropriate in it. Ah well it wasn't life threatening and as I said I just paraphrased it.

Originally posted by Sam The ShamWhat would you do if someone settled on your land?
I suppose you're going to claim the indians never attacked white settlements and killed all the women and children. Not to mention torturing them to death.
There were plenty of attrocities commited by both sides (both lumping many Indian tribes into an overly broad group).
