States
Military

Seventeen-year-old

a
portrait
of his
sweetheart
Mary
Holland
. The
romance
apparently
ended
when
Custer
left
for the
military
academy
. His
academic
and
conduct
records
were
poor
while

West
Point
, but he
excelled
in the
combat
arts
. He
graduated
last
in a
class
of
thirty-four
cadets
.
Custer
was
commissioned
as a
second
lieutenant
at the
start
of the
Civil
War
. He
gained
the
attention
of his
superiors
, and at the
age
of
twenty-three
was
appointed
brigadier
general
of
volunteers
. At the
end
of the
war
,
Custer
returned
to the
rank
of
captain
in the
regular
army
and
participated
in the
western
Indian
Wars
. He
earned
a
reputation
as
America's
foremost
Indian
fighter
,
despite
being
court-martialed
in
1867
for
misconduct
in the
field
. He was
killed
at the
Battle
of
Little
Big
Horn
in
1876
.
