Why Did General Custer Lead Us Into The Deadliest Trap In History?

Why Did General Custer Lead Us Into The Deadliest Trap In History? In June 1876, I rode into the Montana Territory with the 7th Cavalry, following a general named Custer who had never lost a battle. We were hunting a village. Instead, we found the largest gathering of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors in history. My name is James Wilkins, and I survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn—also known as the Battle of the Greasy Grass. In this immersive history documentary, I take you into the saddle for the most famous defeat in the Indian Wars. I describe the terrifying moment we realized we were outnumbered, the chaotic retreat of Major Reno's battalion, and the eerie silence from the bluffs where Custer and 210 of my brothers made their last stand. You will hear about the strategic brilliance of Crazy Horse and Gall, the fatal mistakes made by Custer, and the haunting reality of the soldiers who were left behind on the hill. This is the raw, untold story of the men who rode into the valley—and the few who rode out.
