GEORGE ARMSTRONG CUSTER (1839-1876). Custer was a nineteenth-century American Army General who died in the Battle of Little Bighorn, sometimes referred to as Custers Last Stand.WESLEY MERRITT (1836-1910). Merritt was a Civil War general who served in the cavalry. He was second-in-command to Sheridan during the Appomattox Campaign and was one of several commissioners at the Appomattox surrender.
