Montana Historical Sketches
Custer
By ANNA NICKOL

by Sioux Indians in the summer of
1876, he had Is years of military
service behind him. A graduate of
West Point, he went into the Union
cavalry at the beginning of the
Civil war, and his progress in rank
was spectacular, for so young a man.
He was involved in most of the ma
jor battles in the sea coast states,
without ever suffering serious de-
feat.
A general at the close of the war,
he was obliged to accept lower rank,
thai of lieutenant-colonel in the
regular army, a demotion which i'm
piled no criticism of him, but which,
say some historians, distressed him,
and aroused in him a great ambition
to distinguish himself in the Indian
wars, and so regain his rank.
Later historians are critical of his
ambition, his refusal to accept adj
vice, his boundless confidence in his
own ability.
Considerate. Able Executive
Doubtless his wife's opinion of
him as an officer was colored by her
personal devotion to him; still, her
record of life. at Fort Lincoln in the
early 70's show him an able execu-
tive, who kept the garrison con-
tented when peace of mind was
hardest to maintain in the midst of
monotony and threatening boredom.
He was keenly aware of his SOL
diers as individuals, and during bad
weather, according to his wife, al
ways worried about the men de-
tailed to carry the mail.
An ambitious mar he was, surely,
though to Mrs. Custer he was one
who could not help standing out
among other men, not for what he
tried to be, but for what he was.
She spoke of his restlessness, his
exuberance in the face of change,
which he loved. She pictured him
surrounded by his hunting dogs and
favorite horses, his trophies, more
of the hunt than of the battle field,
by odd bits of bric-a-brac he col
lected through the years, and which
he and she managed always to take
with them, though they never had
a permanent home.

of the period in which she wrote
the latter part of the 10th century,
we can still see him as a man of
deep personal feeling and considera-
ton for his family and subordinates,
with a keen interest in books and
theatre; a man industrious in the
extreme-he was often writing al
midnight, either on the articles
which he turned out monthly for an
eastern magazine, or letters or his
military reports, though he knew he
would have to be up again between
3 and 4 o'clock, and in the saddle
shortly after.
He had the habit of easy sleep, SC
in the short halts on the march, he
could lie down anywhere, without
