Son of The Morning Star

General George Armstrong CUSTER. Sculpture by Fernando Andrea

Instantly recognizable as one of the top Wild West personalities, George A. CUSTER's fame spread all throughout the world immediately upon his death, becoming an indispensable icon to popular culture. Controversial and heavily manipulated one way and then another, CUSTER’s figure has managed to survive as a solid romantic character amidst a myriad of pictorial and sculptural renditions that only rarely qualified as true fine art.

Now, for the first time since his death General CUSTER has been recreated exactly as he appeared the last day of his life on June 25th 1876 by the Spanish artist Fernando Andrea after many years of exhaustive research. Mounted on his faithful steed Vic; wearing his famous buckskins; and arms with his signature weapons correct in every detail even down to the Santa Anna spurs; that he wore on that fatal day: all is in this outstanding masterpiece work.
