Indians at Little Big Horn did not know Custer was present
The article argues that at the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25 1876 the Sioux and Cheyenne did not recognize General Custer as the commander or even know which soldiers were officers. Indians recalled no personal familiarity with Custer or his brothers, and many soldiers were unrecognizable amid chaos and dust. The piece also notes that veterans later believed Indians mistook Custer’s force for other troops and that no Indian claims of killing Custer were substantiated.
