The 7th Cavalry under the command of General George Custer was one of three armies moving in on the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes in the Summer of 1876.

Custer with his 7th Cavavlry of over 700 men was eager to reach the Indian camp well ahead of the other armies.

On the 25th June 1876 Custer split the 7th Cavalry in 3 after the pursuit of the Indians.He took 261 men under his command and then split the rest of the command between Major Reno and Captain Benteen.

The attack went in with Major Reno on one side of the Little Big Horn river and Custer on the other with Captain Benteen on Reno's Flank.What Custer did not realise was that there were over 3000 indian braves encamped in the Village.

Reno was immediately swamped with Indian Attacks and retreated to a defensive position to be joined by Benteen.Custer was overwhelmed by Indians and his force of 261 men was completly wiped out with no survivors.This was the Red Indians greatest victory over the white man.
