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.
