Let's say you have an opportunity to go back in time and have one day. The machine can access only the years between 1861 and 1886. You can observe, but you cannot be seen and be harmed.
What year and event would you chose?
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engine!

Probably one of the great Indian battles of the 70s.
-
The Gun fight at the OK Corral.
-
Any day, anywhere as long as it’s about fifty degrees with a steady drizzle…..
-
Dream on Cowboy!
-
Finally going to find out how it really went down in LBH ::)
-
Custer lost…….
-
Custer lost…….
That much I know.
I wanted to know if it was on the first or the second half. ;D
-
Ya could see it comin’ in the first quarter. At half time, even the commentators were gettin’ it right. Fourth quarter they were just goin’ thru the motions. Didn’t even use their time outs after the two minute warnin’. No use in it.
-
The odds makers had Custer at a Million to one odds.
-
Yeah ‘n I took Custer ‘n the points. Shouldah known better when ‘e didn’t take the Gatlins. Live, lose yer money ‘n learn…..
-
I heard Jimmy the Greek's great granpappy was there. He called it right off the bat.

Arcey, You got $13,000 Dollars You ain't usin'? I found a bargain in a fine lookin' Gatling gun.
-
Naw, that’s what I had ta pay the feds for the honor of keepin’ a l’il profit from sellin’ the condo. Roughly 15%. Obama will make it fair fer the peeples. He wants ta raise it ta 25%.
Shame on me wantin’ ta keep what I earned. Selfish, selfish, selfish. Greedy, greedy, greedy.

Promontory Point, Utah Territory
May 10, 1869
After the ceremonies I'd ride over to Brigham City and see if I could find my great, great grandfather and his families.

Arcey, Shame on you!

Thanks.
Didn't know you was there. ;D

Arcey and I watched on Pay Per View on the Dish Network.
-
Yeah. Picked that’n the last opportunity someone offered time machine rides.
It was real nice. Up o’er the gang fight in one them three sided UFO thingys. The Grays were fantastic hosts. Kept the ice cold beer, chips ‘n salsa comin’ ‘n, oh man, that steak Best I ever had. Ya might say the salad was outtah this world.
‘N them l’il android girls with the micro skirts. Hehehehehe. Best say namore……..
-
Definitely a night to remember!
-
Just stick ta the Pay per View story ‘n we’ll be in good shape, mi amigo.
Damned if I didn’t get wore out. Wish they’d run me back to when I was 25……

I'm not sure I could live through all that again!
-
Sure love ta try.
If it were me y’all’d never wipe the grin off my face or get the coffin closed.
-
Party Hats for everyone!
-
I took the bargain tour >:(
They fed us some stuff called soilent green or somethin like that. Not too bad, but definately weren't the delux treatment you guys got.

Like Arcey said, That's my story and I'm stickin' to IT!

As a person who has studied LBH battle, I come off with a different take than most, I think he could have won and won big time, but a lot of stupid little things went wrong. :) His run around to the north some think were to capture the wimmin and children leavin' the camp, would have stopped it pretty short.
The gatlin' guns would have saved his butt, by the time he got them drug over that rough country with the worn out horses they used for them, there would have been nuthin' there for him to capture but some horse poop and Indian poop, the Indians said they were gonna break the camp up the next day. Durn heavy cumbersome things were good for a fixed defense, not rough Montana hills and a Cav charge.
BTW the ones in use were the older models in 58 rimfire and had a very short range and jammed bad.
Myself I would have liked to be taken back to June 26-28 on the South Canadian in the Texas Panhandle and see The Second Battle of Adobe Wall, Billy Dixon, Jim Hannrahan, Bat Masterson and the other guys.

There was a program on a while back wherein they studied the battlefield with a fine tooth comb.
These guys determined it was a matter of tactics. The soldiers would dismount and stand their ground to fight an the indians fought from horse back. What they described based on the evidence made sense, but they didn't have no time machine.

Can't think of his first name, Fox is the last, has wrote a couple books, got a few problems with some of his comments, but I think he's closer than most on what happened.

Del, You brought up something I know a little about. The site is on private property on a ranch near Spearman, Texas. That's only about an hour and a half from my hometown. I was at the site one time, must have been about 69. There's not much left but a Historical Marker which talks about the battle and Billy Dixon's long shot.

That battle has always fasinated me, since I have a lot of interest in the hide hunters.
What most don't know, Dixon made the real long shot that afternoon, but in the mornin' he made another at around 800 yards. BTW on the long shot Dixon had three targets on horses, he called the center one before he shot. Accounts from the Indians said it was a glancin' shot to the side of the head, did not break the skin, poor fella died three days later. A modern ER could have relived the pressure to the brain most likely and saved him.

Del, I will try and get some pictures up there if I ever get back up there.
