Cavalry Commander George A. Custer was the most famous person killed at the Battle of Little Big Horn in 1876. He had split his force in two earlier and he and the remaining 260 soldiers were ambushed and killed by Native Americans. Trouble between Native Tribes and white settlers was the cause of US Military actions in Montana.As an aside, Custer, who became the youngest brigadier general in the US Civil War, was present at the surrender of Robert E. Lee at the Appomattox Courthouse in 1865.
