General George Armstrong Custer had a stellar career in the U.S. Army. He made a name for himself during the Civil War as a hard officer. After the war, he continued serving in the Army out west and made it his life's work. In 1876, at a place called "The Little Bighorn", in a campaign that has become known as "Custer's Last Stand", he and his entire regiment were wiped out by what a witness later said was the, "most Indians I've ever seen in one place."
Over the years of Custer's life, not very many photographs were taken of him. But there are a few. Most were taken in photo studios but some were actually candid shots of him in the field. Here is a collection of photos taken of Custer in different situations. I'll add more as I find them in my files.
