Harpers Weekly featured Custer on its cover 5 times during the Civil War. "This Civil War Harper's Weekly features a stunning image of General George Armstrong Custer on Horseback in a full Cavalry Charge. The image is captioned, "General Sherman's Campaign. - The Rebel Assault on Logan's Position in the Battle at Dallas, May 28, 1864 - Sketched by Theodore R. Davis. - [See First Page]."

It is amazing to me that almost every american knows about custer. Graduated last in his class and managed to get his entire company wiped out. How many know about Ranald S Mackenzie? In same west point class as custer , but graduated at top of class. was able to defeat and force onto reservation the comanche indian tribe without losing a single man at palo duro canyon. Found their winter camp and destroyed their food supplies and more importantly their pony herd. They were forced to walk to oklahoma reservation or starve.

That’s not Custer - he was in Virginia in May, 1864.

Uh, that’s General John A. Logan, not Custer.
