All two hundred and ten men in Custer’s command died in the fighting at the Little Big Horn. The Bismarck Weekly Tribune described the gruesome scene in their July 12 issue. Lieutenant Bradley told General Terry, “He had found Custer with one hundred and ninety cavalrymen. They lay as they fell, shot down from every side. General Custer shot through the head and body, seemed to have been among the last to fall.” (Century Magazine. 1890)
