The battle at Little Bighorn is what Sitting Bull is renowned for. Sitting Bull led his troop of Sioux to a camp at Little Bighorn. Sitting Bull is renowned for his "great medicine" which let him evade the white man, and that drove many more Sioux to his camp. This expansion led to Custer discovering the camp. Custer then attacked the camp expecting an easy victory. What they didn't know was that about 2,000 more Sioux indians came to Sitting Bull's camp. The Sioux attacked and killed all of Custer's men. It was then that the U.S. recognized the true strength of the indians.
