"Custer's Last Charge"
This 1876 lithograph depicts "Custer's Last Charge." On June 25, 1876, George Armstrong Custer and his troops were attacked by Sioux Indian warriors under the leadership of Crazy Horse. All of Custer's men were killed that day, in what became known as the Battle of Little Bighorn. Custer's defeat led to a new determination to subdue all western Indians.
