CIVIL WAR STEREO CARD OF YOUNG LIEUTENANT GEORGE A. CUSTER WITH PET DOG, 1862. The fresh out of West Point, Lieut. Custer is shown in a tent during the Peninsula campaign between May and August of 1862. Custer was quite fond of dogs, and he is photographed several times after the Civil War with dogs and Libby fondly mentions the large pack of dogs they lived with. This is no doubt among the earliest images of Custer during the Civil War, and probably the earliest picture of Custer with one of his pets. CONDITION: Overall very good with soiling and edge wear as can be seen in photos. 4-47026 JS213 (2,500-3,500)
