    Factual errors: In the film, Custer is awarded a medal. In reality, he never received any decoration, though he did receive honorary (brevet) promotions for gallantry. The only medal awarded by the government, or the Army, was the newly developed "Medal of Honor", which George Custer never won - though his brother Thomas was one of three soldiers in the Civil War (along with only sixteen others since then) to receive it twice.

    Trivia: There are 6 entries in the trivia list - like these:
    • Jack Budlong died after falling from his horse onto his sword.
    • Untrained rider George Murphy was killed when he fell from his horse while drunk.
    • Because of a shortage of native Americans in Hollywood, Warner Bros. imported 16 Sioux from the Dakotas.
