George Armstrong Custer

George Armstrong Custer (December 5, 1839-June 25, 1876) was a Union soldier during the American Civil War who later fought against the Native Americans where he was killed by them in Little Bighorn in Montana. He was from a small town in Ohio called New Rumley. He was also of German, English, Northern Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, and Swedish descent. He treated the Native Americans very cruelly, alongside his men and much like many European explorers did before him.

Trivia
