NPS Historical Handbook: Custer Battlefield (Little Bighorn) Custer was born in New Rumley, Harrison County, Ohio, December 5, 1839, the son of Emanuel and Maria Ward Fitzpatrick Custer. General Custer was assigned to the new Seventh Cavalry as its lieutenant colonel, and the regiment then took the field against hostile Indian bands that were raiding and pillaging white settlements in Kansas, Nebraska, and the Indian Territory. Tom Custer is the first man in the rear and to General Custer's left, "Autie" Reed, Custer's nephew, is standing in the doorway, and Boston Custer is seated on the extreme left. www.cr.nps.gov /history/online_books/hh/1a/hh1k.htm   (846 words)

General George A. Custer, General in the U.S. Army, Part of the Fort Tumbleweed History Series   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Custer was sent into the field by Terry, alone with the 7th Cavalry, after a detachment of the regiment, led by Reno, had earlier discovered the trail of the moving Indian village during a reconnaissance of the Powder, Tongue, and Rosebud valleys. Custer, riding at the head of the 7th Cavalry with Bloody Knife, and the half-Sioux, half-French scout, Mitch Bouyer (or, Boyer), and the Crow scouts - the remainder of the Arikaras flanking the column - headed into the unknown; the aim being to engage the hostile Sioux and Cheyenne. Custer's path through this relatively unknown landscape was uneventful, with the exception of ominous, even dire, warnings from his trackers reading the signs of an extremely large village of Indians, apparently not fleeing, but rather, simply, meandering along. www.forttumbleweed.com /historycuster.html   (6655 words)

Civil War Double Congressional Medals of Honor Recipient Captain Thomas Ward Custer, United States Army Boston was signed on as a civilian packer, while Autie Reed went with the expedition as a guest. Boston was with the pack train, which would be along as fast as the cantankerous mules allowed. The presumed remains of Tom Custer, Jimmi Calhoun and several other officers were buried at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. More likely, though, the remains of the three Custer brothers, Calhoun and Autie Reed lie mixed in with the remains of the enlisted men and scouts under the memorial at the Little Bighorn. www.medalofhonor.com /ThomasCuster.htm   (4712 words)

TheHistoryNet Discussion Forums: Was Custer employing good tactics at the Battle of the Little Bighorn? *NEW* Custer, who was accustomed to good-natured bantering with his officers, tweaked Benteen about how Benteen had had his horse shot out from under him at the Washita by a young boy. Custer could do nothing about his rifles, his men, he had to with what he got- which was the best of the army at the time, but in truth, was not that good. Custer was not ill-prepared, nor did he rely on his luck - although you might note that Napoleon stated that luck is the most important attribute a general may have. historynet.zeroforum.com /zerothread?id=134&page=2   (11744 words)

FIRST ACCOUNT OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) Terry, apprehending danger, urged Custer to take additional men, but Custer having full confidence in his men and in their ability to cope with the Indians in whatever force he might meet them, declined the proffered assistance and marched with his regiment alone. Custer was then fifteen miles from the village located on the Little Horn, one of the branches of the Big Horn, twenty miles above its mouth, which could be seen from the top of the divide, and after lunch Gen. Custer pushed on. Custer, who was shot through the head and body, seemed to have been among the last to fall, and around and near him lay the bodies of Col. Tom and Boston, his brothers, Col. Calhoun, his brother-in-law, and his nephew young Reed, who insisted on accompanying the expedition for pleasure. www.courses.dsu.edu /dakwriters/tribuneonbighorn.htm   (2144 words)

DevASP Custer's Last Campaign: Mitch Boyer and the Little Bighorn Reconstructed Book - 0803270402   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20) The myth surrounding Custer and Little Bighorn has been shaped by such matinee films as "They Died With Their Boots On," "Little Big Man" and television's "Son of the Morning Star." These films portray Custer as headstrong, vain, heroic and, in one case, a tad insane. But each version, thematically forged by the decade it was filmed, portrays Custer fighting gallantly to the last, standing alone in buckskins while angrily firing his pistol at the approaching Native American hordes. Custer, as if performing the concluding act of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," falls dead to the ground in bloody, poetic, slow motion. www.devasp.com /store/shop62/pd0803270402/Books_and_Software   (1083 words)
