More has been written on this relatively unimportant incident in American history than on the Battle of Gettysburg-and probably no two accounts agree in all details.By June 24, the trail was hot, and Custer, thinking the Indians were just over the Wolf Mountains, planned to cross the mountains at night and surprise them with a dawn attack. A little after two, the advance saw the first Indians, some Sioux warriors who rode up close and dashed away, yelling derisively.So Custer waited with some 225 men-only about one third of his total force-having just lost what time and vantage he had; and once the Indians repulsed Reno, they hurried to attack him. From that moment on, the only possible way to hear the true story was from an Indian.
