Dominic：小比格霍恩战役是19世纪美国历史上的一个标志性事件，它标志着美国原住民传统生活方式的终结，也象征着美国现代化进程的推进。这场战役的意义不仅在于军事层面，更在于它反映了美国扩张主义、种族冲突以及不同文化之间的碰撞。卡斯特的形象也随着时间的推移发生了变化，从英雄人物转变为美国扩张主义的象征。 Tom：小比格霍恩战役的故事包含三个主要方面：拉科塔人和其他北美原住民的故事、美国现代化进程以及卡斯特本人的故事。卡斯特与疯马的生平具有相似之处，他们都是各自阵营中的杰出人物，随着卡斯特的名声下降，疯马的名声却上升了。这场战役也反映了美国现代化进程中对传统生活方式的冲击，以及资本主义扩张对原住民的影响。 Tom：卡斯特是一个极具个性的人物，他的自负和进取心推动他成为历史人物。他性格中具有玩世不恭的一面，这在他的一生中都体现出来。卡斯特的故事与哥伦布和泰坦尼克号的故事之间存在联系，他代表了美国历史上的一个过渡时期。他试图成为华尔街和大型企业的一部分，但公众和媒体更希望他成为一个冒险家、斗士，一个在平原上战斗的孤独英雄。 Dominic：卡斯特被视为美国青春和国家理想的象征，但他与南方邦联的联系以及他对美国政治的看法都非常复杂。他的家庭背景和政治观点对他的人生轨迹产生了影响。卡斯特进入西点军校的方式非同寻常，这与他当时的政治环境有关。他是一个雄心勃勃的人，他的野心与他个人的魅力和才能相结合。他喜欢标新立异，这体现在他的穿着打扮和个性上。

“Come on, you Wolverines!”

The story of the American Indian Wars of 1862-68 is an enthralling tale of hubris, politics, recklessness, and the merciless assault of industrialisation and modernity on an old world, nearly extinguished. An immense tragedy, it is also a story of great adventure, with formidable heroes and villains on both sides. No two figures encapsulate this better than the enigmatic, strategically brilliant Lakota war leader, Crazy Horse, and his foil on the side of the Unites States government, cavalry commander George A. Custer, whose daring, panache and egotism has immortalised him in the annals of American history. From the bloody battles of the American Civil War and the snake-pit of Reconstruction politics, to his ruthless campaigns against the Native American and First Nation peoples of the Great Plains, and his ensuing, mysterious demise, Custer’s life is a thrilling mix of heroics, brutality, madness and gore. 

Join Dominic and Tom as they delve into the thrilling American Indian Wars, and the life of George A. Custer. From his flamboyant and salacious youth, to his daredevil performance fighting for the Union army, and his entry into the fascinating world of nineteenth century American politics.
