Historical Photos To Blow Your Mind: New Release!

Custer

This photograph depicts Lt. George A. Custer posing with a dog, for a portrait during the Civil War. This was years before his massacre at Little Bighorn. Custer developed a reputation as a highly effective cavalry commander during the Civil War. He participated in major events like the First Battle of Bull Run, and the Battle of Gettysburg, but his most famous battle is known as “Custer’s Last Stand.”

During The Battle of Little Bighorn, Custer and his regiment were so decisively defeated by a coalition of Native American tribes that all of his previous battles were completely overshadowed by the crushing loss.
