MOUNT VERNON – It is true that he had 11 horses shot out from under him during the Civil War and received only 1 minor wound. It is true that he set the record for demerit while at West Point and graduated 34th out of 34. It is also true that he was there for the first battle at Bull Run and Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. He was praised for his actions in the war and his name associated with being a loser for his death at the Little Bighorn. Whether you choose to consider George Armstrong Custer a hero or a goat, very few people are neutral on this flamboyant man born in New Rumsley, Ohio, between present day New Philadelphia and Steubenville.
