      He was addressed as general by numerous people on his staff as well as his closest allies and friends. It was frustrating for him to be a lieutenant colonel, and serve 10 more years since the end of the civil war only to be denied promotions. He did ruffle a lot of feathers of other officers bureaucrats politicians and even the president. So that was also a hindrance to his chances. Had he been successful at the Little Bighorn he more than likely still would have been a lieutenant colonel

      @@drunkenirishmstrIt's military courtesy to be addressed by your highest rank. Custer was given command of the regiment by Sherman and Sheridan because he was the best cavalry commander to come out of the Civil War. The actual commanders (2) were placed on detached duty. You do know that Grant held Custer back from his command until the very last moment. Grant wanted Custer to fail so he could dismiss him from the Army in retribution for his very damaging Congressional testimony and Grant went even further than that: Reno and Benteen's treachery.

    Nobody "encroached on native Americans land". That land did not belong to anyone. The rule has always been, if you want to lay claim to a piece of land, you have to be able to defend it. This has always been the way the world works. Nobody stole anything from anybody.

      Actually, he was a college graduate at a time when less than 1% of the adult male population were college graduates. Not just any college, but West Point, without a doubt one of the most demanding colleges in the country at the time. In the 19th century, it was not necessary to attend college to enter professions that require degrees today. Some of the best physicians. engineers, and lawyers of the time didn't go to college, but rather appentriced to a experienced member of the profession. Thomas Edision and Henry Ford were not college men, but made great achievements as engineers and businessmen. Abraham Lincoln only attended 2 years of grade school, but essentially home schooled himself despite intense opposition from his illiterate father who only wanted a farm hand for a son, and persuaded a practicing lawyer to take him on and teach him the law. If you have read "My Life on the Plains, " then you would realize that G A Custer was an intelligent insightful man for the time and place.: Custer's book and those of his wife Libby give readers insight into how drab and desperate the lives of the pioneers of the American West were. Movies and tv westerns make these people too clean, too well dressed, too well well fed. Reading their books made me realize just how lucky we are now in our world. Libby describes how ecstatic she was about her husband bringing her a couple barrels of clean clear water from a mountain stream and obtaining fresh vegetables (carrots and cabbage) for the first time in months.
