Summary
On June 25, 1876 in the Valley of the Little Big Horn River, the combined forces of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors responded to the surprise attack on their quiet village by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry. Quickly reversing the momentum of the cavalry charge, the warriors pushed the five companies of troopers with Custer to the crest of a hill and then annihilated them.
