Battle of Little Bighorn

In 1875, the Cheyenne and Sioux Indians left their reservations, sick of the white men invading their hills. In June 1876, General George A. Custer was sent to round up the Sioux Indians. He moved his small army of two hundred towards the Little Bighorn River, meeting the nearly 2,000 Sioux warriors, led by Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. General Custer and his army were wiped out by the Indians in under an hour.
