poor of a leader custer was right. i grew up hearing about how was like almost the last of his class at west point, right? and so yeah. and so i think that's that's of what we hear in our communities as we grow up. you know, about custer, we're really interesting. i think there's a lot more we could go on about custer as well as some of these other stories that you just told kevin. but i want to transition in the interest time to stories people should know because i there's so much here that we could talk about. and so i want to of get us started started in the the 20th century and, the depression era. so going back to the thirties, yeah. dawson and i were talking about, you know what some stories that, that people don't necessarily know. one of them in it kind of grows of this or is related to to the citizenship act of 1924 is that that was a time when indians were absolutely destitute they had almost nothing their land bases. between 1890 1887 and 1934. roughly two thirds of the indian land base left, left native ame

george custer and others as a michigander, i'm not always proud to have custer up there on. slide, but that's life. he is, in fact, sort of commanding the effort. in september, try to capture mosby, not successfully. obviously, custer is better looking, i think, than he is actually competent. but he group of his soldiers and i also not going to take up necessarily the question of mosby though we can talk about this in the q&a carry janie pete mentioned one of our friends and another student of dr. gallagher's is the now at uva is writing a biography mosby and she will no doubt settle for all time the question of whether john singleton mosby was a guerrilla or, not what i will say at the moment is often his troops in the 43rd virginia cavalry battalion. but like guerrillas and in one prominent case they murdered a union soldier who had been injured and they refused to take him out. they simply shot him. and that's from a confederate witness. and that then stimulated a reprisal by custer. and what custer did in response to that was execute six men in winches. two or three of t

i grew up hearing about just how poor a leader custer was. i grew up hearing about how he was almost the last in his class at west point. and so i think that is kind of what we hear. in our communities as we grew. really interesting. and i think there's a lot more we could go on about custer as well. some of the other stories you just told, kevin. i want to transition in the interest of time to stories the people should know. . i think there is so much here that we could talk about. i want to kind of get us started in the 20th century and the depression era. going back to the 1930s. >> we were talking about what are some stories that people don't necessarily know. one of them, and it kind of grows or is related to the citizenship act of 1924, that was a time when indians were absolutely destitute. they had almost nothing. their land bases had between 1890, 1887 and 1934, roughly two thirds of the indian land base e left native american ownership. 90 million acres. and that wasn't an accident. it wasn't, that's the way it goes, it was delibera

history, george custer, who will explore in the west and the yellowstone in black hills after the civil war takes, his wife, libbie custer, with him on his expeditions out into the west and like like they're sort of husbands these women write down they see and what they perceive but they do it from right a very different perspective. they're not writing as soldiers, writing as wives and potential as mothers. and they're writing about the west as a place of possibility into american families. can that are not simply a masculine space, not simply a space by fur traders and soldiers and what have you, but that their space for all americans. and they write and these books get published and they're incredibly popular accounts of these western travels. so the american public, as much they're interested in the stories of john fremont, george custer, they're interested in the stories of jesse benton and libbie bacon as well so it's a really interesting phenomenon. there's a tendency, right? in a lecture about the us army in the american west to maybe not mention women at all, and some of my gra

custer with him on his expeditions out into the west and like their husbands, these women write down what they see and what they perceive but they do it from a different perspective. they're not writing as soldiers. their writing as wives and potentially as mothers and their writing about the west is a place of possibility into which american families can go that are not simply a masculine space, not simply a space dominated by fur traders and soldiers and what have you, but that there is space for all americans and they write books and these books get published and they are incredibly popular accounts of these western travels. the american public, as much as they're interested in the stories of john fremont and george custer, they're interested in the stories of jesse benton and libby bacon as well. so, it's a really interesting phenomenon. there is a tendency, right? in a lecture about the u.s. army and american west maybe not mention women at all and some of my graduate students would be raising their hands in the back and saying where the women that? that is a valid question but

began his piece that night with a shot of could you caucus with his head sitting is that general custerton? while, it's the governor of massachusetts.

all and it will make easier to get solar panels on the rooftops to protect the environment but the custerctricals i have to 80 percent seven bolivar and $62 million coming in vermont. >> thank you i do want to follow-up legislation that you talk about a lot is a renewed deal proposal and wait and enter democratic president of the accident in the morning was the presidency next month about realistically accomplishing over sucrose this the first of all it is very i think the fact that we put more money into sustainable energy putting my legislation, solar panels on rooftops, we have made progress and if republicans gain control of the house and senate, and the trump wins white house, basically my view we fight against climate change that is over worry very much about the future of the planet. >> thank you, like a moment can and should congress do not to address the growing threat to vermont. >> actually going back to a couple of things, the senator mentioned taxes and 1 percent actually paid 45 percent of the tax revenues coming into our country and again healthcare, has been his signature

going on quantifiably off the charts because as the day wore on, soldiers from george armstrong custer's cavalry were burning the homes on the periphery of dayton. so smoke is building in the air. people are bringing possessions out of their homes. and people were really thinking for them the end. the world was at hand. this was almost to them in a scene. one resident wrote with great fires raging on every side and what little sleep that was had. taken on sleeping couches stretched on the sod. a dense blanket of smoke now settled over the country. from the moment that wildes received this order, he had some really serious mischief about it. so much so that he decided to write a note to sheridan. a note that attested to the character as he wrote the character of the people of the place. and i urged and begged sheridan to revoke the order when received. this note from, lieutenant colonel wildes. his initial reaction was one of displeasure. the staff officer recorded that sheridan read the note and swore. read again and swore. he in great grief over the death of his value. staff officer. wh

the american public as much as they are interested in the stories of john fremont and custer they are interested in the stories of jesse benton and lady bacon as well. it's an interesting phenomenon. there is a tendency to write -- in a lecture to not mention women at all. some of my graduate students would be raising their hands to say where are the women. that is to say they are equally important. their sources, their documents are really critical as well. there is kit carson, who was a huge aid to john c fremont as he goes to california. carson is one of the great american figures although his biography is as complicated and difficult to wrestle with as any figure of the 19th century. he was a great friend to indigenous people at other times involved in relocating, removing and engaging in being the master of native peoples. at times he worked for the u.s. army. at times he was an independent guide, what have you. he does whatever he can to earn a living and make a life. the point of carson just as the point was with somebody like sacajawea, the army cannot do this alone. it needs
