"Custer had dead heroes. Crazy Horse had only live ones"
- Stephen Ambrose
About this Quote
This quote by Stephen Ambrose is a recommendation to the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, in which General George Custer and his guys were beat by the Native American forces led by Chief Crazy Horse. The quote is a commentary on the various methods to fight taken by the two sides. Custer was a conventional military leader, depending on the bravery and heroism of his men to win the battle. Crazy Horse, on the other hand, had no requirement for dead heroes; he was a master tactician, counting on strategy and shrewd to outwit his challengers. The quote suggests that Crazy Horse's technique was ultimately more successful, as Custer and his males were defeated. The quote also functions as a suggestion of the significance of technique and methods in warfare, and the need to think outside package in order to succeed.
