A General Competition 💋 

We know him mostly for Custer's Last Stand, but the ladies of 1873 Toledo remember George Armstrong Custer for something else entirely.
Custer, Sherman, Grant, & Sheridan Take Toledo One Kiss at a Time, and can we expect anything else? You put these four generals in a room with 2000 women, and they will find a different kind of war to wage... and win.

For the original article this is based on, please see:

Also a great article in the Washinton Post: www.washingtonpost.com/news/t...
But best of all is the Steve Alexander (George Custer living historian, of movies, books and lecture fame) pamphlet "The Kissing Generals" published for the Little Bighorn Associates.
I recommend anything about Custer's Last Stand by Donovan, Leckie, Stiles, Frost, Utley, Graham, Carroll, Liddic, etc.
And Elizabeth Custer's memoirs are fantastic!
