Subject: RE: BS: Errol Flynn's willy and General Custer
I have no particular number in mind at Little Big Horn/Greasy Grass, Terrible. I simply offered an example of where you can find documentation of very good and adequate food storage during at that time in history in a certain context. People who can store during the winter can most likely figure out how to travel with adequate amounts. I'm not reading any more into it than that, and I picked the number because it has been bandied about. You just want to argue to argue, you don't want to come to a finer understanding of this topic, so why should I waste my time when nothing will suit you?
Families traveled to the Greasy Grass, not just warriors. There were a lot of people there at that rendezvous. They were managing to feed themselves. You really should read Sandoz's book. Get a feel for the period and the place from someone who did a lot of research on the subject.
