Trevor
“There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry.”
“I appeal to you as a soldier to spare me the humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I not share its dangers.”
“I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life.”
“My purpose is to make my narrative as truthful as possible.”
“You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.”
Quotes by George Armstrong Custer born 5th December 1839.
