George A. Custer

George A. Custer was a United States Army officer and cavalry commander during the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. Born in 1839, he became known for his flamboyant personality and distinctive long hair. Custer gained fame for his daring tactics in battle but is most infamously remembered for his defeat at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where he and his troops were overwhelmed by a coalition of Native American tribes. This event marked a significant moment in U.S. history, highlighting the tensions between the U.S. government and Native American peoples during westward expansion. Custer died at the age of 36.
