The most famous and mysterious battle of the Western Frontier occurred on the Little Bighorn River in 1876. General George Armstrong Custer was defeated and died at the battle site, now a part of the United States National Park System. Equally as famous as Custer were the Warrior Chiefs of the Native American tribes there. These included Buffalo Bull Sitting Down (Sitting Bull), Crazy Horse, Lame White man, Gaul, Wooden Leg and others from the Lakota Teton Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, Southern Cheyenne and Arapahoe tribes. The Battle of June 25, 1876 remains a mystery for scholars for several reasons, one is the lack of an eye-witness to the actual Last Stand, all the soldiers at the end of the battle died with their leader. A second major mystery of this famous battle is why did Custer divide his forces and why did he not wait for the supply train with the ammunition and supplies before attacking the huge Indian village? The text explores these questions and more mysteries surrounding this battle.
