He never underestimated anyone. It’s a myth.
The Indians were 950 to 1’500 and Custer said to his officers that they would attack 1’500 warriors at last. He was right.
The “underestimation” is a pure lie, a myth that was created to explain the defeat to the American people. Custer was never outflanked, it’s a myth too and historians have crushed it since a long time. Watch the videos.
Custer’s men made a hard fight during more than two hours without getting any support or help.
The Indian determination was poor: all of the warriors were surprised twice by Custer’s movements and specialists think that up to 500 warriors left the battle before the ending because of Custer’s fire.

Yeah He was right. Dead right !!!
