What is George Custer and the battle of little bighorn?
In 1876, the Battle of the Little Big Horn took place. Back then it was referred to as Custer's Last Stand by the Americans. The Indians called it the Battle of the Greasy Grass. The Cheyenne, Sioux, Arapaho and a few others from other tribes were camped out. General George Custer was given orders just to scope them out but not to engage the Indian. However, in his arrogance, Custer believed he could not only engage them but kill and defeat all the "savages". Custer was outnumbered and grossly underestimated the warriors' skills and was defeated. It is still debated whether he was killed by a native or took his own life.

Who ambushed Custer?
Actually, Custer was not ambushed at Little Big Horn. He purposely attacked a large Lakota/Cheyenne war camp led by Sitting Bull. Custer attacked hastily, against the advice of his scouts, afraid the camp would break apart and run before he could decisively engage them. Sitting Bull was not at the battle where Custer was killed. The ambush was lead by Crazy Horse.

Was it possible for Sitting Bull to send a postcard to general Custer before the battle of little bighorn?
Well, honey, Sitting Bull could have sent a postcard to General Custer before the Battle of Little Bighorn if he had a time machine and a really twisted sense of humor. But since those weren't exactly readily available back then, I'd say it's safe to assume that postcard never made its way to Custer's mailbox.
What mistake by Colonel George Custer led to his defeat by chiefs Sitting Bul and Crazy Horse at the battle of little big horn?
Colonel George Custer's defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn was primarily due to his underestimation of the Native American forces and his decision to divide his troops. He advanced without waiting for reinforcements, assuming his smaller contingent could effectively engage the larger Sioux and Cheyenne forces. This tactical miscalculation, combined with a lack of intelligence about the enemy's strength and position, led to a catastrophic defeat. Custer's aggressive approach ultimately left him and his men isolated and overwhelmed.
General Custer turned down a weapon?
Yes. General Terry offered him a battery of six Gatling Guns. Custer refused them on the grounds that they would slow him, and they would have. They were heavy and mounted on an artillery carriage. Thirty years later, gas-operated machine guns were available which could be packed on the back of a cavalry horse, and these were used in the Russo-Japanese War. The Gatling Guns could have prevented Custer's Last Stand because the hostiles knew better than to attack them, but of course Custer did not foresee such an outcome when he turned down command of these weapons.
Was george Armstrong Custer married to a indian?
The wife of Lt Colonel George Armstrong Custer was Elizabeth (Libby) Custer, nee Bacon - they married in 1864 and were never divorced so he could not legally have married anyone else.There have been stories circulating for some time that Custer had a Cheyenne mistress (not wife) named Maotzi or Monaseta, the daughter of Cheyenne chief Little Rock, who some claim had a child by Custer (a boy named Yellow Bird). This would have a bit more credibility if Maotzi or Monaseta were genuine Cheyenne names but they are not.Since a fact is defined as something that can be supported by evidence, this story is not a fact but simply an entertaining story.
