Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer was the on-the-ground leader of the American horse-soldiers at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June of 1876. Typically overlooked in this battle is the fact that Custer was officially subordinate to Brigadier General Alfred Terry, who commanded one of three columns closing in on the Native encampment from different directions. On the fateful day of the battle, Custer's decision to act on his own, rather than awaiting Terry's arrival, led to the Native victory over Custer's command.
