On June 25, 1876, while leading the 7th Cavalry Regiment at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in Montana Territory against a coalition of Native American tribes, General George Armstrong Custer was killed along with every soldier of the five companies he led after splitting the regiment into three battalions. This battle became known as "Custer's Last Stand", and is that in which he is most known for.
Born here in New Rumley, Ohio in 1839, this roadside monument and adjacent museum honors the life and history of one of the most famous military figures in U.S. History.
In order to claim this smiley, you must include a photo of your gps device (and yourself if you'd like) in front of Custer's statue and contact me with the answers to the following two questions:
1. What was the Nickname given General Custer by the enlisted men whom he was in charge of?
2. What are the names of the two family members not pictured?
That's it. Good luck and enjoy.
