I made no comment on the size of the village. It's my thinking Custer erred in his profession by not having an understanding of his opponent's size and capabilities.
Until he had better knowledge, he should not have separated his command.
My apologies bud, I know you didn’t, I was including in my response to you the originating poster’s assertion that the village was only a mile long.
Please accept my apology for the confusion. You were 100% correct in everything you said.
