More closely with his other battalions were doing that was his failing. He should have kept better track of that seeing that reno was and moving forward like he was supposed to. He should have seen that movement and responded to it. The only thing i can think of why he would keep going was that other column that was supposed to be coming south to meet them in a pincer movement, maybe there was the remote idea that he could see carry in the distance or Something Like that. He was way far away. It was that final move. Had custer been able to unite with them they would have made it through the battle because of those two battalions and three battalions can make it. So no, i dont think it was inevitable and i dont think it was coming. He made mistakes and enumerated particularly his estimations of the real fatal one was the final move. Some people say in the debate, was custer even alive . There was one theory went to the river and was killed and they carried his body back up. Theres anoth
