After separate skirmishing, Custer’s command reunited here. Company L, under Lt. James Calhoun, skirmished with Gall, Crow King, Two Moons, and other warriors. From here these soldiers could have attracted Capt. Benteen’s column and the pack train. A Lakota and Cheyenne charge overran this hilltop and stampeded cavalry horses held in the ravine to your left. Lt. Edward Maguire of the Corps of Engineers, Montana Column, wrote that the first stand was probably made by Lts. Calhoun and Crittenden, whose men and empty cartridge shells were found in a semicircle around the crest; Calhoun and Crittenden were killed here, and along the ravine and up the side hill to Custer Hill was a line of dead men and horses. Two Moons of the Northern Cheyenne recalled that the smoke was like a great cloud, and that the Sioux circled all around them, swirling like water around a stone.
