Custer George Armstrong Custer

I hold with the Chippewa domino theory that Chippewa expansion across the fur bearing upper Great Lakes effected Indians on the Plains as far south as Texas.
Thanks for your response.
There was clearly a 'domino' effect as one group was displaced by white immigrants and then displaced others and so on. In the seventeenth century, the Lakota inhabited the headwaters of the Mississippi River. They were forced out by the Chippewa and moved toward the Missouri River, where by the 1770s they had displaced the Arikara. They continued on to the Black Hills, where they 'evicted' the Kiowa and Crow....

On this day in 1839, Federal General George Armstrong Custer was born in Harrison County, Ohio. Although he is best known for his demise at the hands of the Lakota and Cheyenne Indians at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Montana, in 1876, Custer built a reputation as a dashing and effective cavalry leader during the American Civil War.

Good point! I always think of Custer when people squeak about rewriting history. It became quite fashionable to slam Custer in the early seventies. Prior to that, he was an American military hero. In some Custer biographies, you'd swear he won the Civil War single handedly![/QUOT

And here's the very place! This Ohio State Memorial is on the site of the Custer House in what was then the village of New Rumley; for more: https://civilwartalk.com/threads/custer-state-memorial-new-rumley-ohio.92627/
