he talked with Indians who had fought
against Cusier, and he sought otlieers
and men who hud served with Ueno
hih! IVnteen to get their stories of
the right. He learned everything he
n.uld of the position of every man In
the Seventh cavalry on that fateful
day in June lSTi!.
I'axsou was -engaged seven' year
in the actual painting of the picture.
His work wits Interrupted during this
time by his service In Cuba during
the Spanish-American war and In the
Philippines. After the war was over
he returned to his work and the pic
ture was completed.
In this palming 1'axsnn showed the
figures of more than L'mi soldiers, In
dians und scouts. It contained the
portrahs of W! ti.-emhers of Custer's
command pnmieo from photographs.
