Happy Father's Day. I'm Jane Pauley and this is Sunday morning.

Father's mother's sons and daughters. We all had a terrible new reason this past week to contemplate the great divide in our American politics alone act of violence against Republican congressmen occasioned a brief pause to some of the angry words long term, the partisan rancor shows little sign of abating the latest chapter in a history Ted Koppel will consider in our cover story, obstruction of justice structure for hours. We keep hearing that I word a lot. Deep Street we been warning you about the deep state media wars are getting nastier Barbara Dewey, will tell you it's been building for almost 50 years short of really began in earnest in November 1969 Nixon everything is fine.

Silent majority speech was attacked by the networks immediately. Your reaction to this bombshell report on the ongoing battle for hearts and coming out on something taking time this Father's Day to remember what might've been the mother of all concerts. The pop festival that kicked off the summer of love half a century ago. Anthony Mason takes us back to the rock festival gave birth to rock festivals 50 years ago this weekend Monterey pop together. Otis Janice fell out every day you everything was full of people standing on later on Sunday morning.

Remember Monterey so is the cry in many American household today that is dads outside playing with the kids don't need to couple will show us how a younger generation of dad's is changing the definition of fatherhood this way. Sweetie Simon I leading the charge to the playground salary this week to do this with his website, he wants to change how fathers approach parenting millennial's are now the largest group of new dads in the country so he's got plenty of company had on Sunday morning a portrait of the American dad anniversary of Custer's last stand will be marked in Montana a week from today with Morocco this morning we get a head start on the American psyche.

Every time you look at it from a different perspective. It surprises is still not over. We will be fighting the battle little big horn as long as we are a nation.

Custer's last stand head on Sunday morning.

Seth doubt has a summer song from China's*classical pianist, long, long Steve Hartman salute some good sports. Michael Morgan tells us about yesterday's hung jury in the Bill Cosby case and more featuring radio and TV personality talking sport played when began with to headline grabbing legal cases this past week. Yesterday's hung jury in the Bill Cosby sex abuse trial and Friday's guilty verdict in the texting suicide case DiMarco Morgan and Erin Moriarty have been covering the cases we begin with DiMarco Morgan.

There would be no sense of closure the end of the sensational sexual assault while of Bill Cosby. The judge declared a mistrial after the jurors reported they were hopelessly deadlocked on the sixth day of deliberations.

Whenever you have a case like this word except in the sense that he said she said situation. The only two witnesses, there University of Pennsylvania criminal law professor David Radomski.

She gives a very credible story through cross-examination. Though the fence is able to show that she did certain things that might be inconsistent with what she said on the witness that those are the things that sometimes give jurors significant pause, jurors were unable to reach a unanimous vote in the case in which accuser Andrea con Stan, a former Temple University employee claims caused once notice America's TV that drugged and sexually assaulted her at his home in 2004. It's an old case many years ago raises questions about why there was a delay in the prosecution that fundamentally I think with the defense was able to do was to call to question Wisconsin's contacts with with them is the course.

Be after the alleged sexual assault. Why would you continue to have contacts with the person who assaulted you Cosby spokesman Andrew why Dist. Atty. Kevin still immediately announced he'll try Cosby again. She is entitled to a verdict in this case the citizens of Montgomery County where this crime occurred are entitled to a verdict.

Reassuring news to Victoria Valentino, one of some 60 women accusing Cosby of sexual offenses chassis for justice for all of us. I will keep speaking out until I have no breath but in the end Prof. Radomski says there will be little reprieve for Bill Cosby is now the face of the trial. He's an elderly guy is not a good health.

You know his reputation lease from my perspective is already been seriously seriously damaged the fact that so many women complained about him have a lot of people put in their minds that he probably did something wrong was it criminal wrong.

Was it just immoral that the bites people but he's not a face, perhaps the rest of his life in prison. That's a difficult situation but that's where we are at this point this is Erin Moriarty this past week, 20-year-old Michelle Carter was convicted in the Massachusetts courtroom. Not so much for what she did, but for what she sad this court having reviewed the evidence and apply the law there to now find you guilty Carter and her attorneys look shocked as Judge Lawrence known as founder guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of her friend Conrad Brule.

He died in a Kmart parking lot nearly 3 years ago from carbon monoxide poisoning. The judge found that a barrage of text messages and phone calls from Carter pushed 18-year-old Roy to take his own life even though she was miles away at the time so I guess you aren't going to do it, then all that for nothing.

I'm just confused like you were so ratty and determined I'm gonna eventually you're just making it harder on yourself by pushing it off. You just have to do it but it was actually this tax from Carter to a friend Sam Boardman sent two months after Roy's death and sealed her fate. CM's death is my fault. Like honestly I could have stopped him. I was on the phone with him and he got out of the car because it was working and he got scared and I told him to get back in the judge focus in particular on those last three words get back in this court finds that instructing Mr. Roy to get back in the truck constituted wanted and wrecked with conduct by Ms. Scott creating a situation where there is a high degree of likelihood that substantial harm result to Mr. Roy.

She did not issue a simple additional instruction get out of the truck.

The defense will likely appeal, Carter's attorneys had argued that Roy with a history of suicide attempts at taking his life anyway. He even recorded conversations of his struggles.

This racing thoughts, prosecutor Katie Rayburn.

Although we are very pleased with the verdict. In reality, there are no winners here today. Conrad in each euro boys dad and the young woman young woman is not convicted of causing his death.

Massachusetts ACLU has already criticized the verdict as a violation of the defendant's right to free speech. Tell that to Conrad Roy's mother Lynn's life has been forever changed by three little words I don't understand why you would want someone that was so beautiful inside and out. Had so much oxygen kind person to tie your reaction to this bombshell report on the next America's great divide media hate America getting greater the great divide in America's political life is a topic we have explored before and of current events, or any indication that the topic will be returning to again and again our cover story as reported by senior contributor Ted Koppel Stephen Colbert was stripping out the sweet moment so is differently not single supporters.

Recent service is become increasingly members of Congress under attack week of last week shooting briefs are gross in attack on one of us is an attack on all of us to my colleague hear me say something never heard me say before I identify myself with the remarks of the speaker, the shooter's immediate identifications are complete or he repeatedly took to Facebook to share antitrust rhetoric was attempted partisan mass murderers what it was before you saw terror attack did not.

But I see a man, MSNBC, the Democratic Party ring while the rest of the media spectrum discovered new fuel for Chargers.

The president is engaged in obstruction of justice whether the president himself attempted to obstruct justice, your reaction to this bombshell report on the report you are hearing, reading, watching which referred to as mainstream media and all around the president then professor your current employer of Harvard's Berkman employment Center for Internet and Society has concluded that all of you are consuming pretty much the same with the adjusted study on on coverage of Trump and Rush showing me 20 17th.

If you look and compare the words that are typical of all places like the Wall Street Journal or fortune or what we would normally think of as center-right sites that are the three networks times the post all the way to Huffington Post and daily calls and things are more characters and left the all use very similar words, there are now formal calls to impeach the president in the last 24 hours. We keep hearing that I word a lot will focus on Trump in Russia in very similar terms of what the complication is does it raise the question of impeachment doesn't it offer obstruct three words, obstruction of justice. Jeffrey Koopman is a left-wing kook which is why qualified to be legal analyst over CNN when you look at the right. You see, much less coverage, forcible, and second, you see a completely different version. All this is about deep state effort to bring down Trump makes women warning you about the deep state Obama hold over government bureaucrats or hell bent on destroying this president president from withdrawing what state the Republicans controlled the Senate. The house is just five months is probably premature and certainly plays right into the hands of the president's most support.

Marvel at the driving people crazy, crazy maybe but I'm see the battle between Donald Trump which is very volatile and it's back and forth every short of really began in earnest in November 1969. Great silent Michael Americans. I ask for your support Nixon in this great silent majority speech was attacked by the networks.

Let's grant Buchanan whose new book, Nixon's White House walls grows on his own experience as an advisor to Pres. Nixon and is also report would become a highly controversial speech that he wrote for VP Spiro hitting back at the TV. We never over public in the hands of an elected timely question in the hands of a small unelected elite. So, seven years later become edited. Take now is admitting they have just based Carlos Slim Buchanan ran for president himself.

In 1996 crafted several camping Donald Trump adopted since there is nothing wrong.

America first will be the major and overriding theme of my administration each year millions of illegal United States. Most come without job skills. Five for bringing drugs for bringing crime. Their rapists and of course the wall I would build a great wall and nobody builds walls but believe me, I love you like you know these were seems designed to appeal white working-class Americans away from the Democratic Party and only the division's noses. Buchanan referred deeper than they were 20 years ago and so everyone turns basically to create their own newspaper in their own network and that's what they read in the corporate Ted is a country divided this.

It's never been before in my lifetime ends of the political spectrum. This is the resistance the resort with self-righteous Donald Trump. Our national embarrassment. Our international disgrace media hate America is evil is Donald Trump set the media hate America. The media are fake news. The scientists are wrong on climate system we have for saying there's a world out there that's real, it's not all partisan politics is being criticized by this administration is being criticized by the propaganda network that supports a network service professor Bentler largely inspired by Breitbart until a few years ago secure right wing website which, under the leadership of Steve Bannon accumulated enormous national political influence and yes it's that Steve president Trump's chief strategist Breitbart connected to Fox News amplifying AM radio creates an alternative not so they'll have a series of stories basically saying, deep state leaks. For the first time this that or the other. This will then be linked to on other websites like daily caller.

It will be stop on conspiracy sites like in four wars. It will be generated on TV and Fox news in all of this network of propaganda sites is directly then time someone was sitting inside the White House for total those folks who believe all the things you've just there is this conduct professor at Harvard universe is almost academician. The slightest bit of attention, no I don't think, no I do not know how we can sustain this level of intensity and hostility repaired for four and half months for 44 more months. I don't know how it's going and my guess is badly Buchanan and I spoke before last Wednesday shooter is like there will be fun. I raise the issue of possible violence in the context of an impeachment when it comes to violence. I don't know I don't I wouldn't predict that, but I do think that this country would be even further and irrevocably divided over this issue and they would not forget it for a long long time because they would believe what they would believe that this establishment was out to get Trump from the first day and wanted to take him down, and I think they would be right. Which brings us back to Stephen Colbert sitting at the ratings consistently offer egregiously excellent essay here Donald Trump if you're watching. First of all your bad president. Please resign second. Atlantic June 18, 1898, 119 New Jersey opened its famous steel here in person as the headline loaded with amusements and attractions.

The steel pier was the centerpiece of the jampacked beach scene that Thomas captured on film in 1901, the peer featured diving horses bears on bicycles, cars that spot in midair and acrobats galore X the peer hosted some of the very early Miss America pageant since well and also was the stage for some of the biggest entertainers of Three Stooges ogled a bathing beauty and the scholars dubious political correctness in 1930 and 1958 Ricky Nelson performed a record crowd thousand.

Eventually, however, changing times and vacation habits caught up with Atlantic City's closed in 1978 and then in 1982.

The main building with Atlantic City steel pier was destroyed in a suspicious fire raged for more than six hours.

There were no serious injuries. Fire official said that the career steel pier.

Not quite as it turns out the steel pier has been rebuilt with the original claim to be showplace of the names Billy's dad at the playground's guy talking played his home and more involved with this kid never talking to couple takes the Father's Day look at a new generation of devoted dads slides and swing.

Don't let this sportcoat will you have to really Simon Isaac is ready know the fall for the playground.

That's his two-year-old daughter Kia selling imaginary talk with all Simon's afternoon with her not look like much. Certainly no more than what many mom every day. The 36-year-old entrepreneur sees it as a small act of revolution, social, are we witnessing right here to guys on a weekday playground in itself, but is guys involved in the lives let's go you know who can only finish sentences because that that's what parenting is about Isaac other baby is a website is cofounder of fatherly compendium of practical parenting advice aimed at America's biggest group of new dads millennial's this 80% of millennial dads a percent of dads that were born after 1980, claimed that the primary grocery shopper which blows people's mind when it comes to thinking about what is really happening around the house. Isaac says today's dads are different. Nearly 2/3 of households with kids have working spouses into the workforce dads have pushed the playground, or at least tried to one source says basically what time a Boston College study out this week. Found most dads believe childcare should be evenly divided but only about 1/3 actually get there. Even Simon. Isaac's wife Liza can really any partnership is always a balance between sometimes 20. I think the intention to strive for 50-50 is on and I think there is like life. No perfect equation trying to find that equation generally needs a lot more work at home that advertisers have noticed hailing dads as everyday heroes trail that that's a little different from what were used to think how one Archie Bunker for a long time. Father didn't know what real dad have come a very long way. 1966 when Pres. Lyndon Johnson set aside Sunday June Father's Day, emphasizing God's strength and stability fatherly from home. Read the newspaper not pay much attention to the kids really and still be considered a good father because he was making the family financially stable. Psychologist Ray Leavy grew up in the 1950s when dads were expected to be breadwinners and disciplinarians, but not much else. Nobody actually believes that fathers could be warm and soft. That was an unusual father.

We know now kids that get that time and attention. Fathers do better in school on the job and in their own relationships. That's according to research that barely existed generation that's one of the reasons that we speak of fathers as having been the forgotten nobody did much research on fathers.

It was all on mother's reading and talking saying that's why Leavy founded the fatherhood project. Harvard's Mass General Hospital. One current study postpartum depression in men dads matter program is part lady and part workshop for men struggling with the new equation fathers like high school teacher Garcia.

My back is often, and though they still trailed mom father have nearly tripled time they spend with their kids, David and Judea works nights and then takes care of his daughter during the day Sunday as well. Just like where their plan and will be playing on the floor and then went out as an exercise guys try to imagine children will say about them years I made time for 20 years is a long time no so if you're lucky enough to have that around whatever his age now might be the moment to make some time off. The key to his success is where it all began playing piano accompaniment to Andrew day song, Empire State of mind has summer song to share with us and our Father's Day story all his own self down paid him a visit. 30 renowned Chinese pianist wants to change the whole concept of classical piano brought his emotional magic styled audiences this night very special stage is in town Shenyang, China pieces celebrity elsewhere. He's a superstar in Shenyang city 8 million in China's northeast where we met him at a CD signing performance how to be home. I only promising young pianist's parents moved to Beijing as a child. Work with the best teacher they could afford.

He lived with his father in a $20 a month apartment while his mother, a telephone operator since what money she could to support them.

It was a rough start the first year Mary and I think I got fired.

She said I'm not a molten no talent. It devastated long, long stop practicing since his father into a fit of rage.

Father told me when not speaking it's like you just fired your still not serious about your playing life itself.

Your dad said you should kill yourself with the series. He was serious when we met, his dad just before the Shenyang performance. We were asked not to discuss the suicide demands. Looking back, do you think oh I I might've pushed my son too much. What you will hello I think I inspired him to love piano said we became partners in our career day.

Father and son are often side-by-side and long long says he almost understands the cultural Revolution which is my parents generation habitats like Communist Party founder bouts a domes cultural Revolution Chinese intellectuals and artists were sent to villages to work on farms jobs were assigned and reams – so his parents poured their dreams into him spending half year salary to buy long long piano kid.

He remembered being inspired by this 1986 performance by Russian Vladimir Horwitz, which he watched on TV broadcast in America live on Sunday morning. Also, the far more childlike sources of inspiration borrowing some of Tom and Jerry's layer for the dramatic went on to study at Philadelphia's prestigious Curtis music Academy surprising peers with his love for Beethoven like my great-grandmother. They were then read from the very beginning I thought one day I need to change this this image chance to play along with italic. The 2014 Grammys like show aspect of like the performance obsolete because I think that sometimes people think about classical musicians that think we are professors.

Nothing against professors course. In fact, inspiring the next generation is a long lungs focuses these days. How many kids in China are trying to learn. We have 15,000,005 zero 50 million kids.

So you're a role model to an awful lot of kids in this country. Sometime I found that I I'm in charge of a huge kindergarten Shenyang 100 of them, ages 6 to 10 played by a sigh perhaps not seem effortless. Long lungs's kids recognizes the same dream father saw him. It happened this past week returned home in a coma of 22-year-old American student on arrested in North Korea last year, allegedly stealing poster the tearful one beer was tried and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. After months of futile diplomatic appeals. North Korea suddenly let him go blaming the coma on botulism sleeping pill. Dr. Daniel Cantor of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center says there's no sign of botulism, but a great deal of brain damage, wearing the same jacket.

His son Boris file his father Fred. One spoke out. There is no excuse for any civilized nation to have kept his condition secret and denied him top-notch medical care for so long. The fact that he was taken and treated this way is horrible and it's tough to process but were tremendously proud of him hard earned political leaders take a break from bitter partisanship and simply play ball take the lead of the young role models Steve Hartman at Myers they just might this past week. Some people tried to turn the baseball shooting into a political football blaming one party or the other for the violence normally expect Congress to join in the mudslinging will occur Thursday way they greeted each other the way they prayed together at second base tragedy could have that effect on people.

But you know baseball helps to hard not to be a good sport. When you're playing America's pastime that I would argue that everything Congress needs to know to fix our political acrimony.

They already learned in Little League and Little League. They teach you losers don't mind winners and you don't question a call based on the umpires heritage.

These things are no-brainers to young minds, but for some reason we forget those life lessons in our later innings, so why bother teaching kids good sportsmanship for just going to cast aside as adults. Why celebrate that baseball. If the mutual respect we witnessed was a mirage paid as soon as the infield dust settles. That's my fear that Monday will be right back where we were unless we try something new or this case, something handshake is the bedrock after every game all the way through college. It stops the pros, but for no good reason is my idea after every session of Congress every stated party sublime as they did Thursday night just to say good job or thanks for being here. You don't have to change your positions. You don't even have to compromise. All you have to do is reach across the aisle with an open hand and show some stability. We like what we saw last week, we'd like to see more. So Congress the gavel lands.

Please consider walking over to thank your so-called adversaries for serving the country you also love just because you're in the big leagues doesn't mean you can act like a Little League or next.

The music launched this summer along talking Sunday morning and here again is Jane Hawley… Launch the summer of love at the Monterey pop Festival in 1967 five is still being felt half a century later, Anthony Mason takes us to Monterey then at the fairgrounds in Monterey California this weekend just down the coast from San Francisco. The Monterey International pop Festival celebrating its rock ancestor Festival that gave birth to rock festival is this weekend. The first Monterey pop slogan using love flowers ring the opening bell for the summer of love, the breakout moment Jimmy had playing his first American show with the experience them almost unknown outside San Francisco never like John Philip of the mamas and the Papas and his manager and producer Lou Adler to sell out every day. Everything was full of people standing on the top ticket $6.50 almost all the acts played were challenged to put this together and 6 1/2 weeks 6 1/2 weeks, no rules, no regulations. It was a madhouse at the Monterey pop Festival offices total Matt Michelle Michelle, Philip's wife is the last surviving member mamas more than rock of Simon and Garfunkel the classical music of Ravi Shankar when he think everybody wanted to come. Well Lou did a very very smart thing. They created a board of governors, the board included their friends, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson and Smokey Robinson. The Board of Directors is interesting. We were all asked to submit somebody that we thought should be at the festival. Did you submit is ready. Good choice. My good and kid to fix. We had no idea who he was.

Jimi Hendrix experience just started to make a name for themselves in England played on the same bill with another band recommended by the board is that there was sort of a battle between there was about because they knew each other from England. They knew each other's so no one wanted to follow the other because they look like they would be copied so according was flipped to determine who would go first in the pool one and Hendrix jumped up on the table and looked on. And said, you little thinking: I want to do something to burn who destroyed their instruments on stage Hendrix literally send the like. No, why anybody would want to write their acts while understand that. Well, one of the faces so as a girl in complete shock. She could be watching for DA Pennebaker directed a team of filmmakers who recorded Monterey pop what was originally supposed to be a TV special for ABC special kind of camera we made one we met on cameras we built ourselves. They were the first portable sound sink cameras when the head of ABC saw the footage people so I showed him Hendrix fornicating with his take to fill the monies. My office is that so we ended up in the film makers restore documentary has just been. We released the resources and want to be felt jealous as well. She did, but her agent at the time didn't Janis Joplin's initial set Brother and the holding company was a smash but her agent wouldn't allow it to be recorded. When she saw that I went back to John and Lou and she said I want one more chance, let me let me do another set so she went out again, just so she could be filled. She threw this much into that performance is the first performed all the crowd was the head of Columbia record looking for Whitesell was Clive Davis signed her immediately, but God is use it's not social revolution. After the peaceful celebration of music in Monterey. There was talk of a sequel almost ran itself dependent threatening letters. You people are not coming back only took us 50 years that the nursery lineup includes Regina spring break and Eric Berg, who was here 50 years ago and wrote a song about what happened that weekend. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you here personal and maybe peculiar meaning for our Jim Gaffigan it's Father's Day and I am a father, but I would like to acknowledge the fact that I owe most of the credit for who I am today. Elsewhere, I would like to express this gratitude and appreciation in the form of a love letter dear my beard.

Not that beard this. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you.

I realize I don't often acknowledge all you do for me while I never do. Your facial hair. After all, when you're not around beard.

I really miss you. Everyone misses you.

My kids have said where's your beard, you look scary without it.

Without a beard. My head looks like a marshmallow wearing a week.

Not only do you make me look less scary. You somehow make me look thin. I call you my fat shield like magic you cover my double all right triple chin and give my round all right while like face definition.

You were also the only accessory a man could ever need a simple change into a flannel shirt and an outdoorsy lumberjack when I wear red, generous, jolly gift giver with top beard you keep me warm in the winter. Remind me it's too hot outside back you even catch food sloppily, which is often all right all the time. You understand. No sane man enjoys shaving you understand our superstitions and our love of history. Some days you feel like my only friend so my beard I would like to express my love and appreciation to you.

This Father's Day and say I couldn't done it without I love you Jim. I had Custer love the thrill of anything they wanted hundred 41st anniversary of Custer's last stand is next Sunday. It turns out there's more to the story of that epic battle maraca now tells us something along the banks of Montana's little river. The strain of the seventh cavalry song is Col. Armstrong Custer will charge on ending June 25, 1876. This is rating going fire, smoke, yelling, screaming cursing Ranger Steve Edelson describes the terrifying culture of fear and violence to Moses Cheyenne chief. We swirled around her shoulders like water around a stone. How long did the battle last about as long as it takes for a hungry man to eat his dinner in little more than an hour Custer more than 200 of his men were dead.

The battle itself was short and decisive legacy anything but the man at the center, says historian Nathaniel Philbrick is fiercely debated as ever, Custer is a lightning rod. He's one of those guys at the time he was living people either love and worship him or despised him thought he was a fool I think he was always looking to Custer is entering the country. The other officer or single day the last day and how that day, and Custer all remembered has changed over time as a kid. He was the hero's trail was a freshman in high school and I saw a little bit Custer caricatured almost of the era. As a youth. Custer didn't seem destined for greatness. He finished last in his class at West Point yes and he knows how to play the game of how bad can I behave and not get kicked out.

So for him. He was playing that line finished first class I exactly Custer's bravery in battle, was unquestioned. A Brig. Gen. for the Union Army at 23 he became a Civil War hero's party has his horse shot from underneath him. It was looking like the Confederates just might pull it off.

The only person between them and that fate was Custer and Custer and his wolverines. The Michiganders unleashed an incredible charge junkie Custer love the thrill of anything and there was nothing more thrilling than being in battle except perhaps dressing up in black velvet uniforms and brain. More pictures of Custer figure at that time.

Sylvain knows how to work the camera. This is the social media of its day monster on Instagram and done pretty well on Twitter to my 1876 the Custer luster had faded a military victory out West could restore some of that shine 36 E. towards the end of his career he's been dabbling in the stock market, silver mines, losing a shirt he's got hopes of a lecture tour if he can come back to hero.

He's desperate and the country preparing to celebrate its centennial was desperate to for Indian land, including the gold rich Black Hills of the Dakota territory land sacred to the Lakota that the US government had only years before. Granted them forever. The stakes were literally life-and-death for the Lakota Buffalo population upon which they depended and been decimated the last remaining significant herd was in Montana and that's why the battle little bit before location here is a version of the battle part of the battle took place on land owned today.

Brothers Jim and Henry real bird we just swam finding shell casings that the battle their family has staged the annual reenactment for 26 years now.

How was the battle taught in school, mentioned briefly in the encyclopedia like the mother told her was what we do know is that Custer met his match in Chief sitting bull 45 years old too old to fight but not to read, he exhorts the warriors on strong hearts to the front cowards to the rear good job on that late June morning, Custer was undaunted by the courts that his men were outnumbered by the Indians.

He's gone up against insurmountable odds.

Often times during come out victorious by being aggressive, but the Indians run the fight whistle streaking across the battlefield. Just in the smoke. It was apocalyptic chaos. George Armstrong Custer's mutilated body was recovered days later, according to native oral tradition. His ears and peers with calls so that he could hear better in the afterlife.

The expression on his face smile a triumphant smile is just the mystery of Custer. The victory for the Indians was short-lived. Within two years. Most were confined to reservations. This was a battle over land, without a doubt land would occupy how we would be used and who would be allowed to traverse across the little Big Horn battlefield national Monument Custer's men are memorialized where they fell. Indian warriors who lost their lives remembered to what is today known as last stand, Hill.

This place talks to you. You don't have to strain. There is a mystical or spiritual place. Jane Pauley please join us here again next Sunday morning downstream progress and crazy time once final point is when people in the best way to protect people final season Millstream
