Custer’s Last Stand
By Mike Brandt
It’s easy to remember
what June 25th is. It just
happens to be my folks
wedding anniversary.
However, June 25th is
also the day Lt. General
George Armstrong Custer
led the 7th Cavalry to
defeat against the Sioux
and Cheyenne Indians in
1876.
Custer was a glory-

According to family letters, Custer was named
after George Armstrong, a minister, in his devout
mother’s hope that her son might join the clergy.
George Armstrong Custer was born in New Rumley,
Ohio, to Emanuel Henry Custer (1806–1892), a
farmer and blacksmith, and his second wife, Marie
Ward Kirkpatrick (1807–1882), who was of English
and Scots-Irish descent. He had two younger
brothers, Thomas and Boston. His other full siblings
were the family’s youngest child, Margaret Custer,
and Nevin Custer, who suffered from asthma and
rheumatism. Custer also had three older half-
siblings. Custer and his brothers acquired a life-long

Emanuel Custer was an outspoken Jacksonian
Democrat who taught his children politics and
toughness at an early age. In a February 3, 1887,
letter to his son’s widow Libby, Emanuel related an
incident from when George Custer (known as Autie)
was about four years old:
“He had to have a tooth drawn, and he was very
much afraid of blood. When I took him to the doctor
to have the tooth pulled, it was in the night and I told
him if it bled well it would get well right away, and he
must be a good soldier. When he got to the doctor
he took his seat, and the pulling began. The forceps
slipped off and he had to make a second trial. He
pulled it out, and Autie never even scrunched. Going
home, I led him by the arm. He jumped and skipped,
and said ‘Father you and me can whip all the Whigs
in Michigan.’ I thought that was saying a good deal
but I did not contradict him.”
