I want to thank Zack Handlen for his reviews here. Really regret the low readership, but have really enjoyed Handlen's comments and analysis of the episodes.

They're stashing guns to take over the town. They wouldn't want that revealed until they're ready.

She was taking the kinder way of handling the situation. Her other choice was to kill the boy right there and then.

As harsh as she sounded, I thought her only other choice was to kill the by on the spot.

I'm over 50 and clearly remember the mindset of the time when this episode aired. Custer was clearly a hero. The tragic ending of this episode was that the guardsmen hadn't brough their tank with them and saved the day.
