The following is a moment in General Custer's life, along with his command of the 7th Cavalry in an event a newsreporter from Boston related years after the death of Mr. Custer to his wife, Libby.
"He told me that General Custer, riding at the head of the column, seeing the nest of a meadow-lark, with birdlings in it, in the grass, guided his horse around it, and resumed the straight course again without saying a word or giving a direction. The whole command of many hundred cavalrymen made the same detour, each detachment coming up to the place where the preceding horsemen had turned out, and looking down into the nest to find the reason for the unusual departure from the straight line of march."

I would mention that the Indian of the time would have killed the bird, roasted it and eaten it guts and all, and devoured the eggs.
It is what Indians did routinely and was neither to them evil nor good, as they had no understanding of right or wrong.
George Custer did though, and in the minutest of detail, chose to preserve life as did every member of the 7th Cavalry.
General Custer takes on new dimension which flies against the propaganda when one begins to get past the smears which were designed to cover up the actions of those who assassinated him and his command, and left the idiot Indians take the credit.
