The catastrophic end of George Armstrong Custer and 210 of his soldiers has become one of the great mythic events of American history. Overly confident as he always was, Custer led his men straight into the center of the largest concentration of hostile Indian warriors ever assembled on the high plains, and did not live long enough to regret it. Driven back in a chaotic retreat, Custer feverishly tried to find a defensible position and consolidate his troops, but was annihilated before he could do it. Recent archaeological research has made an accurate reconstruction of Custer's defeat and death possible for the first time, and the facts are very well explained at the Custer Battlefield visitor's center. If you ever wondered what really happened to Custer, this is the place to find out. |
