Photographic History.Stereoview Number: 2438 Historical Context: Mathew Brady, one of the most celebrated photographers of the 19th century, is well-known for his extensive documentation of the American Civil War. His work includes numerous portraits and battlefield scenes, many of which have become iconic representations of the era. This stereoview, part of the "War Views" series, captures General Custer at a moment of relative calm, seated at his headquarters with his loyal dog by his side. Significance of the Image: General Custer is best remembered for his role in the Indian Wars and his infamous last stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. However, during the Civil War, he served with distinction in the Union Army, rapidly rising through the ranks due to his bold tactics and personal bravery. This photograph, taken during the war years of 1861-1865, offers a rare look at Custer in a more subdued setting, providing a contrast to the often dramatic and heroic imagery associated with him.
