Col. Myles W. Keoghs horse, Commanche, was the only survior of the Battle of The Little Big Horn.

Both Keogh and Disney have family buried in the same graveyard, in Co. Carlow, Ireland.

Big Chief Sh***ing bull, a descendent(claimed) of Big Chief Sitting Bull, was a "Native American Advisor" to the local council.

General custer was killed while looking for the " legendary bacon tree" it turns out it wasn't a bacon tree after all......., it was a hambush^_^
Killed for not being able to bring home the bacon. Could they not have treated him like a pig instead of killing him?

After the battle the indians found compasses and saw that the needle floated, and moved when the compass case was turned.

Because of their position to the bodies of the dead soldiers, the compass happened to point at the bodies. They concluded that the device was what the white men used to find each other.

Custard was originally red (coloured with cochineal).
General Custer was called Yellow Hair by the injuns (that is true even though his hair wasnt actually yellow).
One day those pesky injuns were arguing about that fact when Sitting Bull stood.......and shouted CUSTERS IS YELLOW.
A passing journalist heard....but thought the shout was CUSTARD IS YELLOW.
Next day it was headlines in the Daily Soux News and the Comache Express.
People were quick to follow the trend and ever since then.......custard has been yellow.
