George Armstrong Custer: 1839-1876. He became famous for leading a battle and what became known as his last stand at Little Big Horn in Montana. General Custer was ordered to take his regiment and pursue a trail of Indians known to be in the area. What was not known was how many Indians they were up against! There were eleven tribes, numbering nearly 9,000 who had their villages on and in the vicinity. 200 cavalry attacked a village from one end while Custer attacked with 277 troopers on the village from another direction. Overwhelming numbers met them. General Custer along with his entire army was slain. The entire area has been made a national cemetery (his remains were taken to West Point in 1877). In his career he had 11 horses shot out from beneath him. One of his friends wrote his history under his name in one sentence, “This was a man.” The Briquet Griffon Vendeen fit Custer to perfection with its golden long hair and the added blue eyes to make him complete. Original work of art. Prints are available in the store.
