June 25, 1876. Over 200 soldiers of the U.S. 7th Cavalry rode into the valley of the Little Bighorn. Not one of them rode out.

This is the story of one of the most famous battles in American history: Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse against George Armstrong Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry.

You’ll see how a broken treaty and a gold rush in the sacred Black Hills led to war, why Custer chose to attack a massive village in broad daylight, how Major Reno’s charge collapsed, and how Custer’s command was surrounded and wiped out in less than an hour. And we’ll look at what came after: why this stunning Native victory became the beginning of the end for the free tribes of the Plains.
