  • Little Bighorn

    George Custer led an expedition into the Black Hills and claimed he discovered gold, as the gold miners rushed in the area the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho went on the warpath. As Custer’s 7th Cavalry went in to subdue them, he foolishly attacked a force of 2500 with only 250 in Montana and were wiped out. The Native Americans victory was short-lived as more soldiers were sent into the area. The Indians won this battle but they will lose the war.
