George Armstrong Custer Custer's Last Words Of course, Custer's very last words are lost, as all who were around him at that fateful last stand at the Little Big Horn perished with him. The best we can do is study the last recorded words that he spoke before splitting away from Reno's command on the day of the battle. As his command came into view of the Sioux Nation, and the allied Indian Tribes, Custer exclaimed with great excitement: "Custer's luck! The biggest Indian Village on the Continent!“ These were his last recorded words before splitting off some hand selected troops to attack the enemy. He spoke these words within hours of his death at the hands of the Sioux warriors.

Pass Muster This is a figurative reference which means to measure up to the required standards. Examples: “I tried, but my efforts didn't pass muster.” or “If you don't wear a jacket and tie, you won't pass muster at that fancy dinner party.”

“Remember the last time in Montana?” The Battle of the Little Bighorn, a.k.a. Custer’s Last Stand, occurred on June 25 and June 26, 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in eastern Montana territory, near what is now Crow Agency, Montana. Custer was killed, as were two of his brothers, a nephew, and a brother-in-law. Total U.S. deaths were 268, including scouts, and 55 were wounded.
