Yes, General George Armstrong Custer was scalped after his death at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. After the battle, his body was found among the fallen soldiers, and it is reported that some Native American warriors removed his scalp as a form of victory and to symbolize their defeat of a prominent U.S. Army officer. This act was part of the broader context of conflict and cultural practices during that time.
