Little Big Horn

Custer's last Stand

Scout reports suggested Indians were moving toward the Little Bighorn River. Brig. Gen. Alfred Terry, leading Custer -who had extreme difficulty in keeping command of the Seventh Cavalry- polished plans with Col. John Gibbon aboard the steamboat Far West, unaware that Brig. Gen. George Crook’s column had battled Cheyenne and Sioux warriors at Rosebud Creek and fallen back.
On June 22, Terry ordered Custer to take his men -about 600 soldiers plus packers and Indian scouts- up Rosebud Creek to the northern end of the Little Bighorn Valley.
Terry and Gibbon hoped to reach the northern end by June 26. ‘Don’t be greedy, Custer, but wait for us’, Gibbon told the younger officer. Custer replied enigmatically: ‘I won’t’.
Citing Custer’s ‘zeal, energy, and ability’ they gave him leeway to depart from his written orders for ‘sufficient reasons’.
When trail signs and scout reports indicated a major Indian village, Custer detoured, and at midday Sunday, June 25, he prepared to attack in spite of the fact that scouts had warned him of the existence of overwhelming forces (2,000 or more warriors).
