Is there any real documented proof as to how long "Custer's Last Stand" actually took from start to ugly ending, since no one survived?

There was one survivor. Looks like it lasted about 10 minutes. The question remained, what had happened to George Custer and his men? The question can only be answered by the Indians who were victorious that day, and one Indian who had been working for Custer. There was one Crow scout in Custer's command who managed to escape the carnage of that day in a Sioux blanket. Between the lone survivor of Custer's command, and the victorious Indian warriors, a fairly consistent story emerges. From all these sources it was not hard to trace Custer's every move during that fateful battle. http://www.sonofthesouth.net/union-generals/custer/custers-last-stand.htm see also: http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/custer.htm Oct 30 09, 12:31 AM

There were more survivors - I count Native Americans as people, therefore as survivors! http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/resources/archives/six/bighorn.htm According to this account, the whole affair ran over several days. It was only one skirmish that led to total annihilation of a fighting party. http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/custercont.htm Oct 30 09, 12:57 AM
