GENERAL CUSTER

This photo shows General Custer and his troops, probably preparing for a battle. General Custer was a United States Army officer and commander, credited for his leadership in the American Civil War and the American Indian War. He is most famous for his command at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876.

Unfortunately, he lost both the battle and his life. He suffered two bullet wounds, one near his heart and another in his head. His body was found in the Custer Hill, alongside the dead bodies of his troops and their horses. The dramatic event was known as “Custer’s Last Stand”.
