Follow the ill-fated campaign of General George Custer as he makes his march to annihilation on the banks of the Little Bighorn River in Montana
Cold weather sweeps in at the end of May, slowing both the Dakota and Wyoming Columns, while runoff swells the banks of the Yellowstone near the Montana Column encampment.

The Dakota Column finally reaches the Little Missouri, finding none of the Sioux that intelligence expected to be there. Meanwhile, the Wyoming Column finally moves out from Fort Fetterman, marching northward toward the old Fort Reno.
The Dakota Column begins its arduous march through the badlands, while the Montana Column moves to reinforce in the face of the large threat located to their south.
The Dakota Column enters the badlands after a navigational mishap by Custer, while the scouts of the Montana Column locate a massive village near the Rosebud, as Gibbon decides to wait until he makes contact with Terry before attacking.
