I found the following brief summation to be of interest:
In 1876, Custer was called to testify against Secretary of War William Belknap in an investigation by Congress. Custer's comments confirmed the suspicions held against Belknap, as well as Orville Grant, and Custer was arrested. While Custer was sitting in prison, Grant ordered his forces to advance on the Cheyenne Indians, which had become increasingly hostile.
Custer was distraught by the fact that his troops would be fighting without him and appealed to Grant to let him join them. Grant relented and Custer was allowed to return to command the 7th Cavalry at Fort Lincoln. They departed on May 17, 1876 and quickly found an encampment of Indians.
Custer realized that he was outnumbered, but decided to fight without infantry reinforcements. He split his troops into three parts and advanced on the village from several directions. However, the two parts led by his subordinates were repelled, leaving Custer's part to the full brunt of the Cheyenne forces. He fell back to a hill, where his group engaged in long range gunfire with the Cheyenne, until every soldier, including Custer, was dead.
George Custer died on June 25, 1876 and was given a funeral on the battlefield before being moved to the West Point Cemetery in late 1877.

I was delighted with the vaudeville skit: Custer testifies against Belknap and Orville Grant; Custer arrested; Grant orders Custer to advance on the increasingly hostile Cheyenne.
Further, the Reno and Benton refusal to obey Custer's desperate summons is represented as the two unit commanders being "repelled."
It presents here, and in Charles' deft depiction, as the elimination of the inconvenient witness to corruption and subsequent defamation of character, of lurid technicolor self-destroying Ahabian-Aryan genocidal murderer.
Wilcox presents Patton as the loud future-politician threatening to push the national agenda on to Moscow eliminated by T-boning the Cadillac with a deuce-and-a-quarter.
Indeed Forrestal's swan dive from the Reichenbach Falls capped a swift transferral of the new position of Secretary of Defense to Johnson.
Was the Belknap-Grant maneuver simply the way business has been done from Little Big Horn to Dealey Plaza.
The truth which must not be spoken regarding Custer was his code of honor was dangerous to his superiors and his attitude toward the native Americans he sought to return to reservation was no more inflamed than the prevailing policy.
Nor was the 35[SUP]th[/SUP] president likely to have reversed NSAM 263, Noam Chomsky to the contrary notwithstanding. And what precisely has sexual behaviors to do with the duties the 42d president was said able to compartmentalize nicely thank you.
Charles, the facile defamation of Custer as having deserved massacre by the nobles he sought to eradicate appears to be a psychological operation designed in the manner of the executive action we expect as the continuing submerged obstacle to right action.

When he left the sound check on the stage of the Allen Theater in Cleveland he turned at the stage door to the alley and told the crew, "I got to go take an injectioning."
History is the beautiful story concocted by the winners.
