Toy Soldiers of San Deigo ACW Confederate Soldier

Sioux Indian at Little Big Horn (Toy Soldiers of San Diego)

The Battle of Little Big Horn was part of the Great Sioux War of 1876. Lakota, Northern Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes combined forces against the 7th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army. On June 25 and 26, 1876 near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana Territory, the U.S. Seventh Cavalry, including the Custer Battalion, which consisted of 700 men led by George Armstrong Custer, engaged the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes led by several war leaders, including Crazy Horse and Chief Gall. At the end of the battle, George Armstrong Cluster was killed with 268 dead and 55 injured. Below is one of the figures from the Toy Soldiers of San Diego collection which I painted using several references that I found on the internet.
