Choosing to disregard his superiors' purchases to hold back for a concerted work, the grandstanding Custer designed to deliver his own decisive triumph by dividing his control into three systems - an exceptionally bold technique when done in the face of a much bigger force. Because of the opinion in the inferiority of the Plains Indians, and mindful of prior Indian practices that desired to avoid pitched struggle, Custer and his men were most concerned with forcing the action and failed to understand the real nature of the problem they had inserted. The Local American gathering, centered around the famous Sioux key Resting Bull, numbered roughly 8,000 individuals, and about 2,000 of these were warriors.
