An Unexplainable Occurrence

Hello, My name is James Tierney and the impossible has just happened to me. I was transported into the year 1876 with only the clothes on my back and a magical device that allows me to communicate into the year 2009. Upon arrival I was somehow aware of my situation and did not act hysterically about my sudden departure from 2009. I seem to have a profession as an Army Private and am under the command of a General by the name of George Custer. We are somewhere in Montana and are attempting to find a renegade band of Indians.
