This is the Story of
the Greatest Battle Between the US Army & Native Americans
|
The 130 year old legend of Custers's Last Stand still grips
America's readers. George Armstrong Custer with over 600 men,
stormed the largest encampment of plains Native Americans in
recorded history. There to see the spiritual leader of the Lakota
Nation, Sitting Bull, some 20,000 people defended their lodges and
families, killing all of Custer's battalion.
Mid-day at the end of June in 1876, Custer with tired and poorly
armed men, made his fatal mistake. As three troops attacked the
front of the immense village, Custer charged into the midst. The
result was told to the public on July 4th -- the centennial of the
United States.
