  "Roughly 25% to 30% (about a quarter) of the estimated 1,100 to 2,500 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors carried modern repeating rifles."

  I appreciate the balance and accuracy of this video. So many others on the LBH are poor.

  I'm Canadian so while I was taught American history 50 years ago or so, and we knew about Custer and the battle at Little Bighorn and most importantly for me, the horse Comanche- I'm really glad you added him.  Iit was a balls up but more importantly it was a genocide, no two ways about it.  Excellent documentary, thank you so much. Cheers from grandmother's land.

  Custer mistakenly thought He had been discovered by the Indian encampment because of the Indians seen breaking into the dropped hardtack box. What Custer didn&apos;t know is that those Indians under the leadership of Little Wolf were moving away from the camp. When Reno attacked the Indians later that day, the &nbsp;Indian encampment was surprised.

  Nice presentation. Sad business the Government and Army went into. The presentation avoided some of the Benteen story here. He saved most of the 7th. The note is a neat artifact that we can appreciate, yet it has little to do with what was going on or it&apos;s outcome.

  Custer made the same mistake twice that day. first he divided the regiment into four columns spaced far apart and thus susceptible to being attacked individually without any knowledge of the terrain the enemy’s position or the enemy’s strength. furthermore he split his unit leaving three companies on their own while he took two toward ford D ensuring that they would be attacked separately. at no point during the battle did his forces fight at full strength; they remained divided throughout making them all the more vulnerable. It would be difficult to perform any worse.

  It’s funny how some people &nbsp;who never met Custer &nbsp;talk about him like they new him &nbsp; But weren’t even born then

  I contend that nobody could give an accurate account of what happened before and during the battle.

  The battle of little big horn was actually fought on Crow Reservation land.
