General Custer was defeated at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It used to be called Custer's Last Stand by the whites and the Battle of the Greasy Grass by the Indians. Custer defied orders to just observe the Indians and instead, in his arrogance ignored the scouts advice of the sheer numbers of Indians and attacked the encampment. It was not just the Sioux, however, but the Cheyenne, Arapaho and a few other tribes who defeated him.

∙ 12y agoBattle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876 between a squadron of the 7th US Cav and the Sioux nation. Not to be confused with the film starring Mel Gibson's (as LTC Moore) "We Were Soldiers..." also about a big battle involving the 7th US Cav in 1965 in South Vietnam.
Note: LTC Custer's command group, including Custer (but not his whole regiment) were cleaned out in the 1876 fight. Moore's command group and many of his men survived the 1965 battle.
