To the Indians he was "The Chief of Thieves", "Long Hair", "Hard Backsides", or "The Son of the Morning Star". To the settlers and his troops he was a battle-tested soldier and brilliant tactician, or an arrogant fool who needlessly wasted the lives of his loyal troops in a foiled attempt at greatness.
Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, of the 7th Calvary, had a long and distinguished military career that ended disastrously at the infamous Battle of the Little Bighorn. A combined force of Cheyenne and Sioux warriors wiped out a vastly inferior force of U.S. Calvary troops, and in a matter of one hour, the status of legend that Custer so desired in life was his in posthumous ignominy.
Portrayed here with his white, self-commissioned buckskin attire, he is striking against the tattered standard of the Seventh Calvary.
