-----Original Message----- Okay, now that I've finally gotten through the deluge of
listserv mail -- serves me right for not keeping up with it since November! --
I've recently read through the incredibly cool yet sadly underrated Tales
o' Terror, and I've got a question about Custer. This may not require
spoiler space, but I'll go ahead and put it in just in case... S P O I L E R S A R E M Y B E S T F R I E N D S Perhaps I need a history lesson here, but unless I'm
remembering wrong, in our own world General Custer died in the battle of Little
Big Horn. How did he survive in the world of Deadlands? I've combed
the Marshall's sections of Quick and the Dead and TOT, and I can't seem to find
the answer. (Of course, the answer could simply be that I'm remembering
incorrectly, but if not, then it's been something that's been bugging me for a
while now and I'm dying to know what occurred). Thanks, n
Jim [<< Adam Gritt >>] The answer is in the Spirit Warriors book
for HOE. The Souix
let him go as a lesson to the white man.
Colonel Custer then deserted the US Army to form his own band and
upgraded himself to General. He
then proceeded to harass the Souix under the new
treaty. This continued until Sitting
Bull attacked him and went away from the old wayers. The old wayers
then moved north, unleashed some serious MOJO and summoned an Elemental (that’s
with a capital E, as in Fire, Earth, Air and Water) who blanketed the Souix nations with a power that causes all techie made
devices to stop working, ie if you don’t know
old ways fighting, your up the creek.
The old wayers then swooped back down and
killed General Custer at Little Big Horn and Sitting Bull in Deadwood. |
