Custer?

In 1876, after several indecisive encounters, General George Custer found the main encampment of the Lakota and their allies at the Battle of Little Big Horn. Custer and his men — who were separated from their main body of troops — were all killed by the far more numerous and heavily armed Indians, led by Sitting Bull.

The Battle of the Little Bighorn. Sitting Bull defeated General Armstrong Custer - United States cavalry:

In late 1875, Sioux and Cheyenne Indians defiantly left their reservations, outraged over the continued intrusions of whites into their sacred lands in the Black Hills. They gathered in Montana with the great warrior Sitting Bull to fight for their lands. The following spring, two victories over the US Cavalry emboldened them to fight on in the summer of 1876.

The events surrounding the Battle of the Little Big Horn have fascinated amateur and professional historians for 130 years, principally because of its many mysteries. While we will never know exactly what happened at "Custer's Last Stand," there is more than enough information for conjecture and debate. In fact, this intriguing Battle has been the subject of countless books, articles, movies, television programs, poems, songs, and websites. The National Park Service's guidebook, Custer Battlefield, provides an excellent overview of the events leading up to and including the battle and its aftermath.

Sitting Bull was actually a Medicine Man and/or Political Leader who was not really involved in the actual fighting of Custer's 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Crazy Horse, Gall, Rain - in - the - Face, and other notable Chiefs were ones involved in the actual fighting and defeat.

Gee, I thought this was going to be a toughie. George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry stumbled into the Sioux/Cheyenne camp at the Little Big Horn and in to a battle. Everyone under Custer's direct command was killed. A few in other detachments survived.

The Indians, by the way, were celebrating another victory against the whites. They had just defeated General Crook (who Custer was supposed to wait for) at the Battle of the Rosebud.

Read:
"Son of the Morning Star" for the white point of view
and
"Soldiers Falling Into Camp" for the Cheyenne, Sioux, and Crow point of view of the battles.

Surely you must know that George Armstrong Custer died at the Battle of Little Big Horn (aka Custer's Last Stand).
