the defeat was initiated by, I believe, a combination of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Custer, in charge, apparently engaged hostile Indians before being re-enforced, and had split his force before the engagement. It would appear Custer had no idea of the large force of hostiles he would face with his small force............Well anyways, your welcome.

The Battle of Little Bighorn took place around the Little Bighorn River in Montana. The Cheyanne and Sioux Indians were emboldened by recent victories over their white foes.

General George Custer and his troops were annihilated, with not a single soldier left standing, June 25, 1876.
