Summary: wounded knee in histotical & military prespective
Comment: ONE USUALLY SEARCHES IN VAIN FOR AN AN EVEN HANDED NON PARTISON ACCOUNT OF THIS SAD EVENT. MR. UTLEY APPEARS TO DO JUST THIS IN HIS 1976 ACCOUNT WHICH IS EMPHATHETIC YET FACT DRIVEN. HE PROVIDES DIRECT EVIDENCE, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT BIG FOOT'S WARRIORS WERE WELL ARMED & DID INDEED COMMENCE FIRE ON FORCYTH'S 7TH CAVALRY AT POINT BLANK RANGE. MILITARY ARCHIVAL EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATES LITTLE EVIDENCE FOR THE WIDESPREAD MYTH THAT MOST MILITARY CASUALTIES WERE INFLICTED BY FRIENDLY FIRE. SIOUX COMBATANTS INFLICTED DEATH BY GUNFIRE ON 25 7TH CAVALRY TROOPERS. A FACT SELDOM REPORTED BY "MASSACRE" PROPONENTS WAS THAT COMBATANTS WERE INTERSPERSED WITH NON COMBATANTS DURING THE MELEE. ONLY ONE OF FOUR AVAILABLE HOTCHKISS ARTILLERY PIECES WERE EMPLOYED TO CONTAIN THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING BATTLE. THE SIOUS DID IN FACT APPEAR TO BE "PLAYERS" IN THIS BATTLE.
