Custer's body had been exhumed from the Little Bighorn battlefield where he fell on June 25, 1876, and brought east for burial with full military honors on October 10, 1877. He graduated from West Point in 1861 โ€” last in his class of 34 โ€” and returned in death as the youngest brevet Major General in the Union Army and the most famous cavalryman of the Indian Wars. A primary document of an iconic moment in American military history, whose illustrations are held in the Library of Congress.
