My first EVER TL! Feel free to ridicule it!:D

Washita Creek, March 27th, 1868

Lt. Col. George Custer was leading his troops at Washita Creek against the Indians. He was commanding the 7th Cavalry, and was doing his job agianst these Chyenne rebels.
"Get going you idiots!" Custer hoarsed out. Smoking had taken a toll, but he was quiet to not alert his enemies at this night.
His group continued forward. Just then, all heck broke lose.
The chain of events was unclear, but it started with the Moon being blocked out with a cloud. Also, a wolf howled. A soilder, most likeley some Private, got jumpy and fired.
The Indians noticed and charged. Custer's men fired randomly, not knowing what to shoot at.
"Get in line you hapless idio-", was the last word before a rifle cracked.
Luteniant Colonel George Amstrong Custer fell to the ground, a bullet in his neck.​
