| General George Armstrong Custer was born on December 5, 1839 and served as a general in the Union forces. He graduated the last in his class at Westpoint Academy, but still became an officer in the Civil war. Custer gained recognition during the Civil war for fighting in the First Battle of Bull Run. Custer is most well known, however, for his involvement in the Indian wars, to which he was dispatched to after the Civil War. Custer was sent to the west to defeat Indians. In 1868, Custer saw his first battle against Indians when he and his men attacked a Cheyenne encampment where he killed 103 Indians and shot all 875 of the Indian’s ponies. The US troops also took 53 women and children prisoner. This battle was later known to be the Battle of Washita River, and was later thought to be the first substantial victory in the Southern Plains War. This defeat of the Cheyenne people caused most of them to be forced into a reservation. Custer is most known for the Battle and Little Bighorn in 1874 where he and his men fought against a group of Lakota and Cheyenne Indians. Custer and all of his men were annihilated by the natives. |
