General George Armstrong Custer was known for his bold, ambitious, and often reckless attitude. He was confident in his military abilities and often took bold risks, which ultimately led to his downfall at the Battle of Little Bighorn. Custer's brashness and desire for glory sometimes overshadowed sound military judgment, contributing to his controversial legacy. His attitude reflected a mix of bravery and hubris, typical of the era's frontier mentality.
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.

If you mean Custer; the American general and cavalry officer, who fought for the Union in the Civil War, and later died in the American Indian Wars...Then his last stand was at the Battle of Little Bighorn. The battle took place between June 25 and 26. The Battle of Little Bighorn resulted in the slaughter of 700 cavalrymen, by the combined efforts of three different Native American tribes.It is called Custer's last stand because he was the military leader in charge of the 700. Custer and his men tried to defend their position, by making a last stand on a hilltop. They were annihilated and Custer was killed.
