Abstract
On the morning of June 25, 1876, soldiers of the famed U.S. Seventh Cavalry led by the flamboyant George Armstrong Custer attacked a large Indian encampment on the banks of the Little Bighorn River. By day's end, Custer and more than two hundred of his men lay dead. More than a century later, the battle still remains a subject of controversy, debate, and fascination.
