But I do have one question that I have not been able to confirm; did or did not the michigan brigade "mutiney" against Custer during the war; i.e. refused to charge a conferate position that had infantry & artillery backing? This would put lie to the Errol Flynn movie They died with thier boots on; i.e. the scene in which "Custer" recieves a watch inscribed with "from your faithful wolverines";(and if the watch incident is true where's the watch today? ).
