Battle of the Little Bighorn
     n : a battle in Montana near the Little Bighorn River between
         United States cavalry under Custer and several groups of
         Native Americans (1876); Custer was pursuing Sioux led by
         Sitting Bull; Custer underestimated the size of the Sioux
         forces (which were supported by Cheyenne warriors) and
         was killed along with all his command [syn: {Little
         Bighorn}, {Battle of Little Bighorn}, {Custer's Last
         Stand}]
