What is your view of Custer?

[L Verge]

I've always thought that both Custer and Fremont had excellent public relations people in their wives. Libbie was certainly a vocal asset to her foolish husband, and from what I can remember, Jessie Benton Fremont argued her husband's case on several occasions. Of course, both came from money - and that helped. Libbie was a judge's daughter and Jessie was the daughter of Sen. Thomas Hart Benton.
