Line 52:
The 1876 campaign against the Sioux seemed like a chance for glory to George Armstrong Custer. The couple's final home together was at [[Fort Abraham Lincoln]] near what is now Bismarck, [[North Dakota]]. From there, the general led the Seventh Cavalry in pursuit of [[Sitting Bull]], [[Crazy Horse]] and the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne who refused to be confined to the reservation system.
Known Joke:
Mrs Custer ordered a painting of her husband`s last thoughts, she was surprised at seeing the results and said:
<nowiki>''</nowiki>Oh I asked for a painting of my husband`s last thoughts and all I see are cows with halos and indians making love!<nowiki>''</nowiki>
<nowiki>''</nowiki>These are your husband`s last thoughts, said the painter: 'Holy cow, look at all those fking indians!<nowiki>''</nowiki>
