Correction [typo]: The three columns were supposed to rendezvous on the 26th, not the 25th.
Yep, but Indian scouts discovered the 7th cavalry, altough they didn’t warn the village.
When Custer arrived near the village, he was surprised to see that the teepees were still there, that the Indians “were caught napping”. Everything was doing well for Custer at this point.
But Benteen and Reno didn’t answer the call of duty - and we know what happened.
