[edit] Topics

Shouldn't the main link for Curley go to the disambig page? I never heard of this guy - if anything the direct link should be to Curley of the Three Stooges, IMO. Spalding 01:21, August 8, 2005 (UTC)

I am surprised by this entry. Curley consistently denied being involved in the combat phase of the battle or "escaping." Moreover, his fellow Crow Scouts denied the story. Documentary evidence from the time of the battle and for sixty years later refuted the survival claim.

The most extensive published collection of complete interviews on the topic, and not simply extracted fragments presented as evidence, exists in Col. W.A Graham's The Custer Myth (Harrisburg, PA: Bonanza Books, 1953) in Chapter 3, "The Crows," pp. 7-25.

This is an absolutely attrocious interpretation of the name Curley and does this website absolutely no favours and aught be removed immediatetly! Curley is a 3,000 year old Irish name with the Gealic spelling Mac Thoirdealbhaigh. Originally from the counties of Roscommon and Galway, the name translates into English as "the son of the dark haired hero"...this is just another example of stupid Americanisms trying to claim history for their own....grow up!!!
