"The Battle of Little Bighorn turned out to be the Plains Indians' last stand because a vengeful nation quashed any remaining resistance. In addition, Custer's character is at the heart of this world-famous disaster. For all his celebrated bravery, Custer became a devout media hound, desperate to gain fame.
