CUSTER'S LAST MEAL
.
The Battle of Little Bighorn took place on 25th June 1876.
It was a fight between Native American forces and the United States Army
The army was led by George Armstrong Custer.
Men who fought battles knew that life was uncertain, so they made sure to have a feast before leaving for battle.
Custer ate roasted buffalo steaks, beans with molasses, roasted wild corn and prairie hen, before heading out.
Luckily he ate as much as he did, because that was the last meal that he ~ and the rest of his battalion ~ ever ate, thanks to their famous last stand.
