Thomas Weir (American soldier)

Captain Thomas Benton Weir (1838–1876) was an officer in the 7th Cavalry Regiment (United States), notable for his participation in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, where Weir led a force that attempted to come to Custer's aid, but was driven back to established defensive positions. A hill on the battlefield, Weir Point, is named in his honor and marks the furthest point of the advance of the would-be relief force.
Reportedly deeply depressed by his experience in the historic battle, Weir's health declined, and he died only a few months afterwards.
==Civil War Experience==

Weir graduated from the University of Michigan in June 1861. On August 27, 1861, he enlisted in Company B of the 3rd Michigan Cavalry and earned quick promotion to First Sergeant. By October 1861, he earned promotion to 2nd Lieutenant in October. In June 1862 Weir was promoted to 1st Lieutenant.
Shortly afterwards, he was taken prisoner by the Confederate States Army and was promoted again to Captain during the seven months he was held captive. After his release, Weir was given the job of Assistant Inspector General on the staff of (brevet) Major General George Armstrong Custer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas Benton Weir (1838-1876) )
