EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of General George A. Custer, taken in December 1869. The creator remains unknown, but their lens has immortalized a man whose name would forever be associated with one of the most infamous battles in American history. General Custer, a distinguished military officer with an impressive mustache adorning his face, commanded the 7th Cavalry during the Battle of Little Big Horn. It was here that he met his tragic fate alongside 260 soldiers who were surrounded and killed by Sioux warriors. This event became known as "Custer's Last Stand" etching itself into the annals of time. The photograph showcases Custer's strong and determined gaze, hinting at his unwavering commitment to duty and country. His presence exudes leadership and courage as he stands tall in his military uniform. Preserved within glass negatives from the late 19th century, this portrait is part of the Brady Handy Collection housed in the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives. Its historical significance lies not only in capturing a pivotal moment before tragedy struck but also in providing us with a glimpse into one man's life amidst a turbulent era marked by conflict between settlers and Native Americans. As we contemplate this image today, it serves as a reminder of both heroism and loss – encapsulating an important chapter in American history that continues to resonate through generations.
