Abstract
George Armstrong Custer and the Battle of the Little Bighorn: Homicide or Mass Suicide?
Spencer J D
On June 25, 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer perished along with 224 men under his immediate command in a battle historically referred to as the Battle of the Little Bighorn. There is some evidence that this was not a battle at all, but a mass suicide. The theory of mass suicide could be substantiated by examination of the skeletal remains.
