Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
Terry and Gibbon’s column was coming.
The scouts knew it.
The camp could not remain indefinitely in one place with a U.S.
Army relief column approaching.
The camp had also consumed the available grass for the horses and would have needed to move anyway for that reason.
The departure left the Reno-Benteen survivors alive on their bluff.
They were relieved by Terry and Gibbon’s column on June 27.
The discovery of Custer’s battlefield — the scattered bodies of 210 soldiers on the hillsides to the north — was a trauma that shaped American military and cultural memory for generations.
