The best evidence suggests that Custer was crossing the river into the village with 5 companies when he was shot.

The soldiers scooped him up and withdrew several hundred yards up the hill. The Indians quickly massed on this force and annihilated it.

Earlier in the day he told one of the Crow scouts that he planned to attack that same afternoon. The scout told him, "Neither of us live to see the end of this day."

Curious as to where this comes from as almost everything I've read says different.
