EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures General George A. Custer, a prominent figure in American history during the 19th century. Taken around February 14,1864, by an unknown photographer, this image showcases the distinguished military officer who would later meet his tragic fate at the Battle of Little Big Horn. General Custer's commanding presence is evident as he stands confidently in his military attire. His facial hair, including a well-groomed mustache and beard, adds to his authoritative aura. The photograph highlights not only Custer's physical appearance but also offers a glimpse into the fashion and clothing style of that era. Preserved within the Congressional Library's collection, this glass negative serves as a poignant reminder of one of America's most infamous battles. Known as "Custer's Last Stand" it symbolizes both bravery and tragedy as Custer led his troops against overwhelming odds only to be surrounded and killed alongside 260 soldiers. The historical significance of this image cannot be overstated; it immortalizes General George A. Custer before his untimely demise on that fateful day in June 1876. As we reflect upon this photograph today, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their country during one of its most turbulent periods - the American Civil War.
