Additional Description: Panel 9 - caption 2
From Gettysburg to Appomattox, first as brigade commander, then as division commander, Custer shone as a dashing, aggressive cavalry leader, known on both side for lightning, overwhelming charges. His service in the Shenandoah Valley brought him the second star of a major general. At Appomattox in April 1865, he received the white towel that signified General Lee's readiness to surrender.
