This piece depicts a significant moment during the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which occurred on June 25–26, 1876, between the United States Army's 7th Cavalry Regiment led by Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, and an alliance of Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes.
The artwork captures the chaos and intensity of Major Marcus Reno's retreat, a pivotal event during the early stages of the battle.
