there are some dates that just stick in my head for one reason or another and today is one of them.

i was going to go into a long spiel about why, but i found this picture while searching for a "pict of the day" and decided that it's really worth a thousand words.

Just thinking that if it had been J.E.B.Stuart
another Cavalry commander and cavalier, Custer
was a bit of a cavalier too wasn't he, who--in some
alternity having lived rather than dieing too
young and who had commanded the Seventh Cavalry
against Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse...
that the result would have been different maybe.

perhaps someone else had this in mind when they created The Haunted Tank (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Haunted_Tank).

it's quite possibly (at 25 years and over 300 issues) the longest-running series based on such a completely bizarre premise.

This reminds me of a book I read about this once - Son Of The Morning Star. I really enjoyed that book, although I've no idea how factual it was.

connell's book is considered pretty authoritative in spite of it being fiction. he examines a lot of the "possibilites" surrounding what we'll never know about what happened.

i hear they are remaking it (oliver stone is directing, i think?)
