MASS GRAVE: A blizzard sprang up on December 29, 1890, and the Sioux bodies were left on the Plains for two days. "Now we have avenged Custer's death," said an unnamed officer. Crusty old Indian fighter General Miles thought the massacre "most reprehensible, most unjustifiable, and worthy of the severest condemnation." He brought charges against Forsyth, but the secretary of war blocked them.
