Custer was a coward, and therefore a bully. There is nothing redeeming in his military actions.
Frankly, I prefer to have the Sioux in my heritage. I would be ashamed to have Custer there.
Custer had many faults to be sure. He was rash, vain, and conteptious of the Indians, but he was no coward. He first gained attention at Gettysburg by leading his Wolverines in a headlong charge against Stewart’s far larger cavalry that was about to hit the Union in the rear at the same time Pickett was attacking the front. It so shocked and confused Stewart that he withdrew. Not the action of a coward.
