His Crow scouts told him the encampment across the river was really big but he may have thought the warriors were elsewhere. We'll never know. Reno had engaged and made a hasty fighting retreat but battlefield comms were nonexistent. Another thing we'll never know for sure is what Benteen did or didn't do. He had despised Custer since Washita and may have hung Custer out to dry. In the long term the Crow won, sort of. Their rez is a whole lot of nothing. They tried a carpet mill like Anadarko but that failed. They built a casino at near the battlefield to lure in tourists but that failed. https://www.ypradio.org/tribal-affairs/2019-09-13/crow-consider- legalizing-alcohol-to-revitalize-economy They're sitting on one of the largest coal deposits in the country but Obama & Crew rained on that parade. Hardin is not on the rez but a private detention facility would have offered employment. That failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Rivers_Detention_Facility I don't know what the BIA is doing with it. Maybe they can turn it into Alligator Alcatraz North.
