I've read that G.A. Custer was one of the first to yell "Wolverines"! before charging in to battle.

Yep. He was a Michiganer, and I believe that was at the Battle of the Washita.

As an interesting anecdote, Custer's wife, Libbie, was given the table on which generals Grant and Lee signed the surrender at Appomatox. Custer had been instrumental in cornering Lee after he had abandoned Petersburg. Libbie was given the table by none other than Gen. Phil Sheridan, who praised Custer as being one of the leaders in bringing Lee's army to heel.
