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.

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.
