Yes...Custer did get out in front a bit too much, but one should also remember the Gettysburg tussle where he and his boys from Michigan fought the Reb Cavalry to a standstill. This Confederate Cavalry's mission was to get behind the Union lines as Picket made his charge.
When part of Picket's troops made it to the Union lines, the Confederate cavalry could have been a game changer; splitting the Union forces.

Other then that, all else I agree with.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/todays_medal_of_28.html#comment-89564 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/todays_medal_of_28.html#comment-89564 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:53:14 -0600
