Obituary..

Gen. George A. Custer, who, with two broth
ers and two other relatives, met so tragic a
death in the recent Indian massacre, was born
in Ohio in 1910. He graduated at West Point
in 1861, and entered at once into active service
in the war of the rebellion. He was in the bat
tle.of Bull Run; in McClellans Peninsula cam
paign; in the battles of South Mountain and
Antietam; in the Rappahannock campaign of
1868; in the battle of Gettysburg and the minor
engagements connected Herewith; he went
through the whole of the Wilderness campaign
and the Shenandoah campaign, and he bore
conspicuous part in the winding up operations
at Five Forks and Appomattox Court House.
1t was glorious career of service, and it rails
ed its actor from Second Lieutenant of cavalry
to brevet Major General. Alter the war Gen.
Custer was put in command of the cavalry di.
vision of the Southwest and the Gulf, and in
1865 he was chief of cavalry in the Depart
ment of Texas. Since then he has been mainly
on Western frontier duty. He was in every
scale of the word dashing cavalry officer
brave to rashness as the appalling disaster in
which he lost his life proves. More than a
year ago, he published an interesting book on
Indian campaigns, which had previously ap.
peared in the Galaxy. His previous success in
battles with the Indians, doubtless led him to
plunge his command, without support, into the
jaws of death, with the hope that victory would
reward his reckless daring, and that he could
receive the credit of crushing the most formid-
able tribe of Indians on the plains

Accounts from the Turkish war are very

would be safer even than Southwestern Arkan-
