Perhaps no battle in American history has been as thoroughly dissected and is still subject to as much controversy as the Battle of Little Bighorn. This was not a large battle. Custer’s command consisted of twelve understrength cavalry troops totaling 647 officers and men. It wasn’t even the largest defeat the US Army suffered at the hands of American Indians. The Seventh Cavalry lost 268 killed and 55 wounded. When General Arthur St. Clair was routed by Little Turtle and the Miami Confederacy he lost 933 officers, men, and civilian laborers. As many as 200 women and children accompanying his expedition were also killed. Scissors-32x32.pnghttp://www.redstate.com/2015/06/25/june-25-1876-little-bighorn/
