shame you didn’t include any of the native americans who were able to take on firepower with their bow and arrow skills

their only flaw was that there was just not enough native warriors after small pox whiped out north america

but the civil war vets were terrified of the lakota and crazy horse was their nightmare

  They didn’t have horses until the early modern age though. Even when they aquired them later three native Americans were never really ‘horse nomads’.

    there were hores once before in the Americas. the plains indians had remembered the horses in oral history and when they came back, they were tamed and used like the horses from the ages before. Like no time was lost.
