The Little Big Horn "massacre" has some amazing casualty reports. All of Custer's direct command, 210 men, plus 48 more soldiers and scouts were killed. Indian casualty lists are as low as 32. This figure is from David H. Miller, author of Custer's Fall, who was adopted by the Sioux and who interviewed survivors and their family members in 1935 (the book was released in 1957).
The Indian accounts indicate that Custer was one of the first casualties when he was shot in the chest fording the river. His command was demoralized and deprived of any momentum they may have had charging into the village.
Miller actually names each Indian casualty as well as their tribe, however, my own opinion is that there were more Indian fatalities then they would have admitted.
We deal in lead, friend.
