Why does the Battle of Little Big Horn get so much attention?

because it was a rare victory for the Native American tribes and ended up fueling the desire of the American people to fight the Indians out west. If it had not been a massacre, public support for those far-flung campaigns would have likely remained much lower.

Also, Prior to the battle, Custer was a war hero. He was a shameless self-promoter and was a real celebrity in the United States. Kids in the north grew up wanting to be the gallant General Custer leading a cavalry charge against the soon to be slain foe. Him dying at the hands of natives was akin to George. S. Patton dying in a car crash.

Custer died in that battle. He was a very controversial figure on the national political scene. His arrogance caught up with him in the worst wasy possible. His troops were massacred as well as himself.

I sincerely do believe that any "newer" interest, or heretofore unseen angles and/or takes is the product of revisionists' attempt to make the Injuns look better - at white eyes' expense - seeing's how we ripped off their land and such.

Ironic, isn't it, that the Injun's greatest victory was ultimately the catalyst (maybe not THE catalyst, but it sure enough sped chit up) for wiping them off planet Earth.

I agree it's not even close to being the largest massacre perpetrated by the Indians

The last time the Redskins won a Super Bowl.
