... Geo. A. Custer always knew how to cut a dashing figure!
The first one George is with his sister Margaret Custer Calhoun. (She lost her husband James, her brothers George, Tom and Boston and her nephew Harry Armstrong Reid on June 25, 1876.)
The second photo he is with a Miss Agnes Bates. Both photos taken in 1875 at Fort Abraham Lincoln.
The third photo was taken in 1868 at Fort Sill.
The fourth photo was taken in 1873.
