   Custer did several things wrong there but had one goal in mind. To get a   
   great newspaper article about him. His goal was to nominated for the   
   presidenicy of the U.S. He failed to listen to his Crow scouts when they   
   advised him there were following the trail of to big a encampment.   
   He failed when he sent Major Benteen off   
   in a totally wrong direction, with no scouts and no one who knew the   
   area.   
   He split his forces again by sending Major Reno to attack and telling   
   him he would back him up if he had any trouble.   
   And finally when he rode down Medicine tail coulie he thought he was   
   attacking the north end of the camp when in fact he was in the middle of   
   it. At that point is where he was probably shot off his horse.   
   Custer only had 2 wounds on him one in the left breast ( probably a high   
   lung hit )   
   and one in the temple. His body was not   
   mutilate, he was the only one who was not.
