He was pretty much a bad dude in the Civil War. Started out as a second lieutenant. He was promoted from captain to brigadier general of volunteers at the age of 23. And later major general. He was an excellent brigade cavalry commander. He was presented the table which General Lee signed the surrender papers of the war.

Was Custer a general or colonel during the Battle of Big Horn?
Custer was a colonel during the Battle of Little Big Horn, as a regiment is normally commanded by a colonel, while a general commands multiple regiments. I think the confusion over Custer's rank is because during the Civil War he was promoted to brevet general (sort of a temporary general, promoted in the field). After the war Custer got himself in some trouble and was demoted back to colonel, and he never rose to the rank of general again.
