Special Presentation: Custer's Last Man: I Survived Little Big Horn
Custer's Last Man I Survived Little Big Horn part 1
Custer's Last Man I Survived Little Big Horn part 2
The Battle of the Little Big Horn is one of the most
iconic events in American history. It is an amazing
story, but until now it has never been fully told.
Many questions still remain but one question remains
above all the others, did any of Custer's soldiers
survive? New evidence will prove that a soldier
named August Finkle was the lone survivor of
"Custer's Last Stand," a battle that is
practically synonymous with "no survivors."
Forensics on the man's skeleton and his two
gunshot wounds will definitely show that the
story he reluctantly told the world nearly 50
years after the battle was true.
He alone survived, and his tale of what
actually went on in the battle will revise
our interpretation of the events of the day.
This special will also reveal the amazing
story of seven others who very nearly
survived--who rode for miles away
from the carnage only to succumb
to their own fear and turn their
weapons on themselves.
