George Armstrong Custer 44

George Armstrong Custer (known to his friends and family as "Autie") was born on this date in 1839. I have been purchasing books about Custer for some time now, with the aim of reading them during my retirement. I hope to return to the Little Bighorn Battlefield soon (for the fourth time in my life). Why, you ask? To figure out what happened there. I need to know.
