To sum up, I suggest this as a possible line of investigations by which the student may determine the question for himself:
First. Were Terry’s written orders definite and explicit?
Second. Were they intelligent orders capable of execution?
Third. Did these orders admit of more than one meaning?
Fourth. What are the various meanings, if more than one?
Fifth. Did Custer carry them out in any of their meanings?
Sixth. Did Custer depart from them?
Seventh. If so, how far?
