The major Indian Wars (1867–1877) included the famous 1876 Battle of the Little
Big Horn, better known as “Custer's Last Stand,” in which Cheyenne and
Sioux defeated George A. Custer and more than 200 of his men in southeast Montana.
Much of Montana's early history was concerned with mining, with copper, lead, zinc,
silver, coal, and oil as principal products. Butte is the center of the area that
once supplied half of the U.S. copper.
