Modern archaeology and historical Indian accounts indicate that Custer's force may have been divided into three groups, with the Indians attempting to prevent them from effectively reuniting. That was why he ultimately declined the offer of the Gatling guns that had proven such a bother to Reno. Beginning in the early 1970s, there was concern within the National Park Service over the name Custer Battlefield National Monument failing to adequately reflect the larger history of the battle between two cultures. The question of what happened and why the 7th Cavalry lost so many soldiers in comparison to the pointedly less Native American casualties is Two Moons, a Northern Cheyenne leader, interceded to save their lives.[113].

This was the beginning of their attack on Custer who was forced to turn and head for the hill where he would make his famous "last stand". [215] W. A. Graham claimed that even Libby Custer received dozens of letters from men, in shocking detail, about their sole survivor experience. [195], The Springfield carbine is praised for its "superior range and stopping power" by historian James Donovan, and author Charles M. Robinson reports that the rifle could be "loaded and fired much more rapidly than its muzzle-loading predecessors, and had twice the range of repeating rifles such as the Winchester, Henry and Spencer. By almost all accounts, the Lakota annihilated Custer's force within an hour of engagement. [20] There were numerous skirmishes between the Sioux and Crow tribes,[21] so when the Sioux were in the valley in 1876 without the consent of the Crow tribe,[22] the Crow supported the US Army to expel the Sioux (e.g., Crows enlisted as Army scouts[23] and Crow warriors would fight in the nearby Battle of the Rosebud[24]).

In a subsequent official 1879 Army investigation requested by Major Reno, the Reno Board of Inquiry (RCOI), Benteen and Reno's men testified that they heard distinct rifle volleys as late as 4:30pm during the battle. Vol. Lawson speculates that though less powerful than the Springfield carbines, the Henry repeaters provided a barrage of fire at a critical point, driving Lieutenant James Calhoun's L Company from Calhoun Hill and Finley Ridge, forcing it to flee in disarray back to Captain Myles Keogh's I Company and leading to the disintegration of that wing of Custer's Battalion. Map of Battle of Little Bighorn, Part VI. The geography of the battlefield is very complex, consisting of dissected uplands, rugged bluffs, the Little Bighorn River, and adjacent plains, all areas close to one another. [203] With the ejector failure in US Army tests as low as 1:300, the Springfield carbine was vastly more reliable than the muzzle-loading Springfields used in the Civil War. Later accounts from surviving Indians are useful but are sometimes conflicting and unclear. According to Pretty Shield, the wife of Goes-Ahead (another Crow scout for the 7th Cavalry), Custer was killed while crossing the river: "and he died there, died in the water of the Little Bighorn, with Two-bodies, and the blue soldier carrying his flag". [64] The retreat was immediately disrupted by Cheyenne attacks at close quarters. The remainder of the battle took on the nature of a running fight.

[224][225][226], A modern historian, Albert Winkler, has asserted that there is some evidence to support the case of Private Gustave Korn being a genuine survivor of the battle: "While nearly all of the accounts of men who claimed to be survivors from Custer's column at the Battle of the Little Bighorn are fictitious, Gustave Korn's story is supported by contemporary records."
