Most of this is simply information that many if not the majority of us learned in elementary school, or at the very latest middle/junior high school.

I have been to the Little Big Horn twice and listened to the Rangers. It's a great experience.

I'm glad that someone is telling the story of Custer an his men and of the Indians as close as you can get without really being there at the time. It's to bad his plan to capture the women an children didn't work out. I believe it would of saved lives.

Custer totally under estimated his enemy. He wasn't the first or the last commander to fall into the trap of overconfidence and pride. It's a shame for his command who didn't stand a chance. The rest as they say is history.

Most tragedies have a traceable series of "mishaps or mistakes" that lead up to them, where mere moments could have made quite a difference.

The biggest concern that Custer's superiors (and Custer himself) had was that the Natives would split up into bands and scatter, as they normally did when confronted by a large force, as happened to Hancock in the previous Plains campaign. This time, they did not.

THINK.... a mounted calvary without his SABER is doomed in any skirmish of any degree. The 7th ‘s destiny was set in history with this order. Gott Mit Uns

Not true there were over 30 horses belonging to the 7th Calvary found with Sitting Bull in Canada not to mention the others that were found with the American tribes Cheyenne and Lakota . The story of Comanche the only survivor of the Battle of LBH battle is just more BULLSHIT AMERICAN PROPAGANDA and many people buy into it like fools... look it up If you think Im wrong ...The Indians would never kill all those loose horses that were running loose on that BATTLEFIELD from the 7th Calvary they were good horses better than the Indian ponies on flat ground bigger better Bred and the horse were Sacred to the Indians bet you think it was Custers Last Stand IT WASNT it was the Last Stand of the Plains Indigenous Peoples ... get a grip on Historical reality

They say Custer was reckless, well he was no coward during the Civil War he had 11 horses shot from under him in Cavalry charges. Custer was no different if compared to General Patton, both were glory hounds only difference was luck really , luck can make you a hero or not, just a matter of chance.

@George Morenstein Some think he was by attacking Indian villages.

Not only was he a coward he was so full of himself he forced 2 companies of Brave soldiers to forfeit their lives needlessly all so he was intending to capture the women and children so he could hide behind women s skirts if you call that Brave he had a buillet hole in the side of his head that’s not the action of a brave leader

I do not agree with this guys assessment of Custer. All of the reading I've done on this subject has portrayed Custer as an arrogant, glory seeking, egotist who felt the rules do no apply to him. Custer looked down on the Native Americans - he thought they were cowards and liars and certainly underestimated their abilities. Custer made many mistakes in this campaign and I understand West Point, who did not want his remains interred there, still uses his example as a "what not to do" in teaching military strategy.
