Sioux warriors at 'Custer's Last Stand', 1876, (c1900). Sioux warriors leading away captured horses after defeating Custer's troops at 'Custer's Last Stand', otherwise known as the Battle of Little Big Horn, 25-26 June 1876. White gold prospectors had invaded the sacred Black Hills in Native American territory in 1874, and the Sioux had attacked them. In response, General George Custer (1839-1876) led a regiment of the Seventh United States Cavalry against a far larger number of Native Americans. Custer and his men were all killed.
