Episode 4 focuses on Reno charging down the west side of the Little Bighorn. Given the mass of Indians he faced, Reno dismounted his 3 companies in a skirmish line. However, after some fighting and without support from Custer, Reno "charges" out of the timber, across the river to his ultimate defensive perimeter. In the process, his command is demoralized and faces heavy casualties. The fight in the next episode will turn to Custer and his 5 companies.
