    Custer never came to Houston. He purposely took his troops north through cold spring so that they would not get out of hand in houston. He then went from cold springs to cypress then to chappel hill then to hempstead.

    Excellent content!! 😃 Thank you!! Custer did make Brigadier General @ 23 I Heard because he was a Brave, but Not Reckless Solider!! They Called him the Boy General!! Libby seemed like a Absolute Loyal Bride.... ( she may have done side work Too ) However she put her husband on a Pedestal Publicly!! She made sure people would Not Smear him, while she was Alive. As Fate would have it, she got Many Years to do it!! 1934 Wow!! Fascinating Story!!! Still Going 2021 🇺🇸 🙏 😂 👀 😇 👀 💪 🇺🇸

      Did you read her three books? Libby didn't have a mean word to say about anybody. Custer's rep was kept alive by his troops that served with him during the Civil War.

      @@davidescozzi9885 I believe it was a daughter not a son. I understand a lot of the native Americans who where at the battle knew that one of their fallen foes was Custer because they had seen him years before. they also knew that he was a good warrior for the white men that's possibly a good reason for them leaving his body alone.
