The Battle of the Little Bighorn — which is also called Custer's Last Stand and Custer Massacre and, in the parlance of the relevant Native Americans, the Battle of the Greasy Grass — was an armed engagement between a Lakota-Northern Cheyenne combined force and the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army. It occurred June 25–June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory.

The battle was the most famous incident in the Indian Wars and was a remarkable victory for the Lakota and Northern Cheyenne. A U.S. cavalry detachment commanded by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer was annihilated.

George Armstrong Custer (December 5, 1839 – June 25, 1876) was a United States Army cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. Promoted at an early age to brigadier general, he was a flamboyant and aggressive commander during numerous Civil War battles, known for his personal bravery in leading charges against opposing cavalry. He led the Michigan Brigade whom he called the "Wolverines" during the Civil War. He was defeated and killed at the Battle of the Little Bighorn against a coalition of Native American tribes led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse.

The person whom they defeated was a man commonly known as General George Armstrong Custer. Although he was actually in rank a Leuitenant Colonel. This arrogant man led less than 300 men to take on a somewhat unknown enemy. He was ordered by his superiors to wait until the rest of the force arrived before attacking. He also left his gattling guns behind as it slowed him down. If he had not done either-chances are he would have won or at least survived. However being the arrogant son of a b***h he was, he only cared about his own glory, not about the lives of his men.

He was a well know butcher who killed defenceless old people, women and children. He was a very good cavalry commander who let his pride, stupidity and arrogance get in the way of any possible good name that he might have made for himself in history. But as very good commanders and especially the great were concerned- he certainly didn't measure up. The mistakes made at The Little Big Horn(especially dividing up his command in unknown territory against an unkown enemy) were something that would have had that great cavalry commander from another age, Ghenghis Khan, turn in his grave.
He died at The Little Big Horn. However some of his men survived. Amongst them was a company which was seperated by Custer from the his force which was commanded by Major John Reno. Who was subsequently called before an enquiry. But it was Custer's fault. He commanded. He left his prime ground killing weapons, the gattling guns, behind. He disobeyed orders to remain until the rest of the expedition got there. He divided his command and attacked against an unknow enemy in unknown terrain when he knew that reinforcements were on the way, by his actions previously he forfeited any hope of mercy and got the bulk of his men needlessly butchered. He should have taken sent a company ahead to scout and monitor, taken his gattling guns, waited for reinforcements and monitered the situation-keeping in communication with the main force on it's way. In this way he would have been a part of a great victory. However his example of what he did was an example of WHAT NOT TO DO. Hope this helps.

Crazy Horse defeated George A. Custer.

You might be interested to know that for years in rodeos and Western shows, the Lakota people had a special salute to the American flag. What many do not know is that the flag they were saluting was the one Crazy Horse captured at Little Big Horn.

custer change into the moron who died at Greasy Grass. it change into no longer merely the Souix, notwithstanding the Cheyenne and Arapaho countries. His loopy Horse change into no longer the "war chief" in can charge. the brunt of the attacking warriors were Cheyenne who needed revenge for Sand Creek and Washita. you human beings have your numbers incorrect. the great village stretched for 5-7 miles down the valley. the three countries ought to positioned into the field over 5000 warriors. the moron custer change into no longer the chief in can charge of the military offensive, Gibbon change into. moron commanded one arm of the offensive even as Terry and Gibbon commanded the different 2. Gibbon change into in over all command of the military contained in the offensive. in case you look on the bodies of the squaddies, you could tell what tribe the squaddies were who did the mutilating. each and every tribe had its personal thanks to mark the bodies of the lifeless
