Funny you should make the Custer/Patton comparison–I do a talk on that subject. In some ways, it’s a pretty superficial comparison, but in some ways, it’s quite valid.
As for your ancestor, I see now where you get your ornery streak. 🙂

Sounds like a happy resolution for both sides. I’m relieved. I’ve never read a “custer” book anyway. George always struck me as Peter Pan on a horse. He was a very useful field officer, but a little shallow for senior leadership in peacetime. (George Patton)
I have a Custer connection. Pvt George Hunt of the 7th is the step son of a maternal relative who survived the CW and married his mother. CW tales of glory propelled this Yankee into post war service 73-78. Little cuss got courtmartialed twice for belting NCOs. (Shades of a John Ford Cav movie). Only memorabilia is his discharge papers listing 5 sinister Indian Campaigns he participated in.
