For number Of years after the civil
war Custer had been engaged In In
dian fighting on the frontier OF the
United States. Many of these engage
ments were among the most thrilling
In the history Of Indian warfare in
this country.
The famous expedition which led up
to the famous battle OF the Little Big
horn river was started on May II.
1876. when General Terry. his officers.
OF whom General Custer was one. and
his troops left Fort Lincoln. Dakota.
Every one realized that the campaign
was likely to be a decisive one. 1t was
planned to strike the Indians serious
blow-ono from which they could not
recover.
The advance was begun under IA
vorable conditions. and the Little Big
horn mountains were reached on June
% and the Indian village located. A
slight accident gave the red men warn
ing. Nobody knows exactly how the
battle of Little Bighorn was fought.
The statements made afterward by
the Indians were contradictory. but
they all agreed that Clusters appear
ance was great surprise. The best
evidence shows that the Indians closed

Custer at once on the defensive. Closer
and closer the coil frightened around

among the officers was heavy.
Then Custer had his troops fire two
volleys in succession. the usual cry for
help. II was heard In Reno's camp. Its
significance was understood. but no
help came. Soon came the final act Of
the tragedy. The Indians closed 10

When this proud prelate went on a

wagons, each drawn by five of the

contained ale, one the furniture of his

kitchen; the others were filled with
provisions, clothes and other neces-

horses carrying trunks containing his
money, plate, books and the orna.
