Great documentary which proved the importance of our indigionous peoples
of our great nation and the faithful allies which we still have today.

Castner also recommended that the Army not send troops trained in desert climes and recommended troops trained in the cold climates be sent. But, the army decided to send the warm climate troops instead which, as you know, hindered the battle against the Japanese.

Hi,

RE: Incorrect time period noted on your web page.

I want to clarify your introductory statement about “Castner’s Cutthroats”;
they were in the mid 20th century (1940’s), not the mid 19th century
— that would be the 1800’s. I just saw an extensively detailed story on
them on the History Channel. Their story was part of a two-hour show
titled “Alaska: Dangerous Territory”.

Thanks for your interest in profiling this amazing group.

Best regards,

Todd Ruffaner
