I have Edward Godfrey’s brilliant and chilling report on the Little Bighorn debacle. Tom Custer was calmly smoking a cigarette just before descending into the fight. His brother upbraided him for it. Tom also won two medal of honors for bravery. Quite a guy.

Yes, Lt. Colonel Thomas W. Custer was an admirable soldier. His two MOH awards were for actions in the Civil War. His younger brother named Boston Custer was also killed at LBH.
