The Crow scouts with Custer all witnessed the whiskey drinking the troops indulged in before the fight. Medicine Crow offers his own views for the Custer defeat. Marquis recites a story of a Crow chief who counted many coups by using his cleverness rather than bravery (p.60). Describes a few incidents among the Crow where the prisoners from an enemy tribe were treated well before being sent on their way.
