Reno Hill: Surviving the Little Bighorn

The Battle of the Little Bighorn didn't end when George Armstrong Custer fell. Four miles to the south, the surviving seven companies of the 7th Cavalry, under Major Marcus Reno and Captain Frederick Benteen, were pinned down on a barren hilltop and fighting for their lives. A battle that would result in two days of thirst, sniping, desperate charges, and over two dozen Medals of Honor. We’ll also discuss Dr. Henry Porter's makeshift field hospital, the rescue by General Terry and Colonel Gibbon, the burial of the dead, and the reckoning: the Reno Court of Inquiry, Frederick Whittaker's crusade to blame Custer's subordinates, the surrenders of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, and the 1980 Supreme Court case and the billion-dollar settlement the Lakota still refuse to this day. 🤠Custer's Last Stand - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoxaZjP5_Yg 🤠Watch This Next!!!! ➡️ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn17wflMQRAi10y2tT4P3A60vjLMLpB3g&si=80HkQDCKGTBjWweu 🤠Check out the website! https://www.wildwestextra.com/ 🤠Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ 🤠Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ 🤠Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest 🤠Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra #LittleBighorn #Custer #WildWest #AmericanHistory #Lakota #RenoHill #NativeAmericanHistory #7thCavalry #BlackHills #SittingBull #CrazyHorse #OldWest #history #CusterLastStand
