Custer
Perhaps, as George says, Custer did deserve his fate for: failing to listen to his scouts about the size of the enemy force he was dealing with; dividing his force into three; failing to bring up his two Gatling guns; and generally being a glory hound. But did his men deserve to share this fate?
Also, I have read that while Custer did have several different types of revolvers, he was carrying a pair of English made ones (I forget the name) that day. Bill
