As a person who has studied LBH battle, I come off with a different take than most, I think he could have won and won big time, but a lot of stupid little things went wrong. :)  His run around to the north some think were to capture the wimmin and children leavin' the camp, would have stopped it pretty short.

The gatlin' guns would have saved his butt, by the time he got them drug over that rough country with the worn out horses they used for them, there would have been nuthin' there for him to capture but some horse poop and Indian poop, the Indians said they were gonna break the camp up the next day.  Durn heavy cumbersome things were good for a fixed defense, not rough Montana hills and a Cav charge.

BTW the ones in use were the older models in 58 rimfire and had a very short range and jammed bad.


Myself I would have liked to be taken back to June 26-28 on the South Canadian in the Texas Panhandle and see The Second Battle of Adobe Wall, Billy Dixon, Jim Hannrahan, Bat Masterson and the other guys.

There was a program on a while back wherein they studied the battlefield with a fine tooth comb. 
     These guys determined it was a matter of tactics.  The soldiers would dismount and stand their ground to fight an the indians fought from horse back.  What they described based on the evidence made sense, but they didn't have no time machine.

Can't think of his first name, Fox is the last, has wrote a couple books, got a few problems with some of his comments, but I think he's closer than most on what happened.

Del, You brought up something I know a little about. The site is on private property on a ranch near Spearman, Texas. That's only about an hour and a half from my hometown. I was at the site one time, must have been about 69. There's not much left but a Historical Marker which talks about the battle and Billy Dixon's long shot.

That battle has always fasinated me, since I have a lot of interest in the hide hunters.

What most don't know, Dixon made the real long shot that afternoon, but in the mornin' he made another at around 800 yards.  BTW on the long shot Dixon had three targets on horses, he called the center one before he shot.  Accounts from the Indians said it was a glancin' shot to the side of the head, did not break the skin, poor fella died three days later.  A modern ER could have relived the pressure to the brain most likely and saved him.
