This last fact mattered little to Custer or any other non-Natives. The influx of settlers trespassing in search of gold quickly led to the #GreatSiouxWar of 1876 — and eventually, happily, to Custer's death at #TheBattleOfGreasyGrass (or #LittleBighorn , as it’s known in settler parlance).

One of the most famous and productive gold mines in the Black Hills was the #HomestakeMine , located near the town of #Lead.
