George Custer explored the Black Hills region of present-day South Dakota during his expedition in 1874. This exploration was part of an effort to survey the area for gold, which led to increased tensions with Native American tribes. Custer's findings contributed to the Gold Rush and ultimately played a significant role in the events leading to the Black Hills War.
General Custer's cavalry had destroyed the Confederate defenses between Richmond and Appomattox. Lee had retreated to the west from Richmond hoping for his army to hide behind those defenses. They were not there. At Appomattox, General Grant gave General Custer the table on which the surrender document was signed.

General George Armstrong Custer had a horse named "Comanche," which became well-known as his favorite mount. Comanche was a thoroughbred that survived the Battle of Little Bighorn, making him one of the few horses to do so. After Custer's death, Comanche was cared for and became a symbol of loyalty and bravery. The horse was eventually honored with a burial at West Point, where Custer had once been a cadet.
