I believe this is actually about the battle of the Little Bighorn. "I think about a hundred years ago" - The battle specifically took place 106 years before the song's release. "I think I see a valley, covered with bones in blue" - Much of the assault took place in the valley of the Little Bighorn river, hence the name, and as we know it was a very lopsided victory for the Native warriors. "All the brave soldiers who cannot get older been askin after you." Where "You" is George Custer, whose arrogance caused him to completely underestimate the fight the Natives would bring and whose foolish decisions as a commander doomed his men. |

As to the Maverick comment and this song in general: The song seems to be the end of some sort of relationship be it for the better or worse. On the next album the song "you found me" is a song about the beginning of a new relationship (possibly with God although Isaac is not a practicing christian), for better or worse. The connection is this- In Maverick County, Texas, there is a small town called Quemado; Right along the Rio Grande. Do a quick google maps search and you'll see that there is an intersection in that very small town of 1st and Amistad. I'm not saying the two songs are related, but it is an interesting little tidbit for the conspiracy theorists. |
