Introduction |
|||
|
On June 25, 1876 twelve companies of the 7th U. S. Cavalry were defeated by a large village of Indians of the Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe nations. Of the 647 officers, enlisted men, scouts and civilians present that day, 263 lost their lives. Indian casualties are not generally known but are considered to be far less in number. It is our hope to entice you with the events and controversies surrounding that day, and to bring you closer to an understanding of this fateful battle.
