Ode to Jim Bridger (1804-1881), an American mountain man, trapper, Army scout and wilderness guide who explored and trapped the Western US in the first half of the 19th century. He allegedly warned George Armstrong Custer in the Great Sioux War of 1876:
"He spoke with General Custer and said, “Listen, Yellow Hair,
The Sioux are the great nation so treat 'em fair and square.
Sit in on their war councils, don't laugh away their pride.”
But Custer didn't listen, at Little Big Horn Custer died". - Published by
