Cultural depictions of George Armstrong Custer : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cultural depictions of George Armstrong Custer George Armstrong Custer (1839–1876) was a United States Army cavalry commander in the American Civil War and the Indian Wars. He was defeated and killed by the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. More than 30 movies and countless television shows have featured him as a character. He remains the only American Civil War general to be portrayed in a major motion picture by a future U.S. president, Ronald Reagan in ''Santa Fe Trail'' (1940), as well as by Errol Flynn in ''They Died With Their Boots On'' the following year. ==Paintings==
In 1896, Anheuser-Busch commissioned from Otto Becker a lithographed, modified version of Cassilly Adams' painting ''Custer's Last Fight'', which was distributed as a print to saloons all over America.〔http://www.kshs.org/publicat/khq/1946/46_4_taft.htm〕 It is reputed to still be in some bars today. Edgar Samuel Paxson completed his painting ''Custer's Last Stand'' in 1899. In 1963 Harold McCracken, director of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, deemed Paxson's painting "the best pictoral representation of the battle" and "from a purely artistic standpoint...one of the best if not the finest pictures which have been created to immortalize that dramatic event."〔http://home1.gte.net/espaxson/custer.htm〕
