TAKE A STAND FOR
HISTORY
- HOME - 
"Reno
proved incompetent and Benteen showed his indifference – I will not use the uglier words that have often been in my mind. Both failed Custer and he had to fight it out alone."
Little Bighorn veteran William Taylor, letter to Lieutenant Godfrey, February 20, 1910
HOW THE LAST STAND LOOKED LIKE
Here is one of the most accurate portrayal of the Last Stand ever (taken from "The Custer Album")
42 men behind 39 dead horses, in a 30-feet circle.
"Custer's men were along a ridgeline, and they were either running along it or trying to control it. But those men shot their horses and made a barricade. The highest
number of casualties happened right there,"
says Paul Hutton, a professor of history at the University of New Mexico and a Custer scholar.
