1876-CC 20C MS 64 NGC.
Few epochs of history have shaped the American character better than the taming of the Old West. In the years following Appomatox Courthouse, unprecedented numbers of Americans flooded west to seek their fortunes. In pursuit of their goals, these settlers fought the elements, each other, and Native Americans for a share of the frontier's riches. While little could be done to diminish the hardships and violence associated with the first two trials, the federal government recognized the obligation to protect its citizens from Indian attacks and secure its newly populated lands. The exploits of one of the United States Army's most famous Indian fighters not only underscores the violence that permeated the Wild West, but also signifies that these turbulent times made legends out of failures as well as heroes.
Already famous for his exploits as a cavalry commander during the Civil War, George Armstrong Custer remained in the Army and was eventually promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel of the 7th Cavalry. Posted to the Northern Plains, Custer took part in several engagements with the Southern Cheyenne before his troops switched their emphasis to the Lakota in 1873. After numerous small skirmishes, the Army decided to move decisively against the Lakota in the summer of 1876 with the ultimate goal of securing possession of the Black Hills. Rather than following the original plan of attack, Custer led his men ahead of the supporting infantry units. On June 25, 1876, he came upon an Indian village and, allowing his contempt for the Native American's fighting prowess to get the better of him, proceeded to attack the settlement on his own. Thousands of Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors counterattacked Custer's men and, after driving them back to a long ridge parallel to the Little Bighorn, killed all of the U.S. troops. Custer's military blunder and the consequent failure of the attack against the Lakota postponed the government's control of the Black Hills. His defea

George Armstrong Custer Handwritten and Signed Note
A small, approximately 3" by 3", note, this item is special by virtue of its form, rather than its content. The note reads in full: "Headqrs. Ft. A. Lincoln D.T. / June 16th, 1875 Respectfully forward through headquarters Dept. of Dakota (signed) G. A. Custer Lieut. Colonel 7th Cav. Bvt. Major General U.S.A." Written exactly one year and ten days before he would meet his fate at Little Bighorn, at the age of just 35 years, Custer indirectly emphasizes one facet of his military career that always annoyed him. His outstanding actions and bravery during the Civil War resulted in his promotion to Brevet Major General of the Army at the almost incredibly young age of 23. Along with other senior officers who had been awarded lofty titles, after the war ended his rank was effectively reduced to Lt. Colonel. As a sign of deference, and in keeping with custom, he was always addressed as "General Custer." However, he never did attain the full rank of general throughout the remainder of his career, something which rankled him greatly. His closing of the note, wherein he spells out his official title, followed by his earlier title, is in demonstration of those feelings. Note also his addition of "7th Cav." This is the most desirable version of Custer's autograph, when the legendary unit is noted in his hand. With strong signature and clear writing, this is an outstanding example. Matted and framed, fine condition.
Accompanied by COA from PSA/DNA.
