Did Major Fambrough ever explain that or do we not know why?
shareI think you mean stop sending supplies to Fort Sedgewick and I believe it is because Major Fambrough was not right in the head and neglected to do so.
shareI don't think it was ever explained, but I have feeling it was because of Major Fambrough.
There is a scene in the extended version of the movie where you see some soldiers standing in formation at Fort Sedgewick. They were tired, dirty, and beat down. I remember their commander saying something like, "The Army abandoned us so we are going to abandon the army."
