Little Bighorn Battle Art
Image size: 14 inches high x 11 inches wide
Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his elite 7th Cavalry regiment, under a hail of arrows, urge their tired horses toward "Last Stand Hill". Custer spurs his trusted mount "Vic" forward, as he fires a round from his British Bulldog revolver into the surging tide of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors.

CUSTER'S LAST STAND
It is approximately 4:45 pm on Sunday, June 25, 1876. On the high ground
above the Little Big Horn River is Montana Territory, the final scene of a drama
that has been unfolding since early that morning is about to be played out.
Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and some eighty men of
Companies C, E, F, I, and L of the Seventh U.S. Cavalry are advancing into
history as part of "Custer's Last Ride."
7th CAVALRY MASSACRED BY INDIAN BRAVES
Here, Custer stops to fire towards the advancing Native Americans whose
arrows are already starting to take their toll. Lieutenant W.W. Cooke, with his
distinctive whiskers, is in the group to the right of Custer, and Sergeant Robert
Hughes, who is carrying Custer's personal guidon, follows him. The men
remain fairly calm against the indians, although one of the guidon bearers has
just been hit. Custer's mount, Vic, is beginning to sense the fear that will soon
overtake the troopers.
The men taking part in "Custer's Last Ride" were doomed, but they became a
part of one of the most enduring legends of the West - Custer's Last Stand.
