    CUSTER, GEORGE ARMSTRONG
    (1839–1876).
    George Armstrong Custer, Union Civil War general and western Indian fighter, was born in New Rumley, Ohio, on December 5, 1839, the son of Emanuel and Maria (Ward-Kirkpatrick) Custer. He grew up in New Rumley and Monroe, Michigan, and realized his ambition in 1857 when he was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point. He graduated in 1861 at the bottom of his class but won distinction in the
    Civil War
    as a cavalry officer. At twenty-three he was made brigadier general of volunteers, and at twenty-five he earned the rank of brevet major general. With his long blond hair set off by a red tie, a sailor's blouse, and a blue jacket agleam with gold, the "boy general" cut a dashing figure. Admired by some, envied and disliked by others, he captured the public's imagination and became a popular hero in the North.
    At the end of the war Custer was assigned to duty in Texas as part of Gen.
    Philip H. Sheridan
    's effort to prevent Confederate retrenchment in Mexico under the emperor Maximilian. During an uneventful five-month stay at his HQ Austin, which ended when he was mustered out of the volunteers on February 1, 1866
    Note: Projectile points are identified to culture and time period on the basis of their form and flaking style. Shapes and thicknesses changed over time, probably at least partly for reasons related to function and technology, but also because of style preferences within a particular group. For whatever reason they changed, archaeologists can use these changes to map point styles to periods. Studies of the different sizes and shapes of points are called point typologies.
    In general, the larger, finely made points are the oldest points and were likely spear points, fixed to the working ends of spears. The middle-sized, fairly thick points are called dart points; they were used with an atlatl. The smallest points were used at the ends of arrows shot with bows.
