The Custer Court-Martial

Abstract

Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer, Brevet Major General, United States Army, was Court-martialed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, during September and October, 1867. Though not unknown to Custer historians, this little-chronicled event in the life of the well-known American solider and Indian fighter is seldom accorded more than an obscure comment in the many books and articles about the man.
