The Indians followed in this belief.

  6. The Battle Summary (June 24-25, 1876) • The white army’s strategy was this: the commander Custer sent in suspected a trap, but couldn’t contact Custer. So he deployed a skirmish line a few hundred yards from the Native American’s encampment. There then was a lot long- distance firing with the white army taking their first casualty of the day. (It would not be their last.) By: Jacob and Browning

  7. Battle Plan Con. Major Reno realized that their odds were five to one (them being the one) and realized that Custer still hadn’t sent in reinforcements. A scout came back and reported that the Indian commander had massed more than five hundred Indian warriors and forced Reno to make a hasty withdrawal into the timber in a loop of the river, here the Indians pinned him and his troops down and began the massacre. By: Jacob and Browning
