Wikipedia actually has a pretty complete write up on Custer’s last stand.

In 2003, my new bride and I took a coach tour of the western National Parks. One of the stops was at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield Monument. It was the stop I had anticipated the most. The NPS guide was from the Crow Nation and gave an excellent presentation. He showed where Custer had first been buried, and then explained that he had been disinterred and reburied at West Point. All that they needed was some background music playing “Garryowen.”

Thanks for the link. I did a quick read. Seems fair and accurate to me. That’s rare these days. Thanks again.
