• Commentary: Montana Channels Custer in Fighting 'Citizens United'

In 1876, in the territory of Montana, Gen. George Custer pursued glory along the Little Bighorn River. He divided his troops and greatly underestimated the strength of his adversary, Sitting Bull. We know the outcome. Ironically, in death Custer achieved his greatest glory. Montana joined the Union in 1889. One hundred and twenty two years later its highest court may be following in the footsteps of Gen. Custer. The Sitting Bull today is the U.S. Supreme Court. The glory being pursued is getting Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 130 S.Ct. 876 (2010), reversed or narrowed.

• The People V. Hamlet: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kennedy Presiding

What do the justices of the Supreme Court do for fun to unwind from presiding over all those cases? Well, they preside over more cases, of course! And by "more cases" we mean fake ones. Frequently justices have been presiding over the trials of literary characters and long-dead historical figures such as Col. George Custer, Hamlet, Socrates, Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon. The trials are usually fundraisers - and for the justices, they are a good time.

• Making Case Against Capt. Bligh

Poets are remembered for their finest writings, painters for their most vivid canvases. The fate of their mediocre work is to be forgotten. Military men are judged differently. They are expected always to perform competently but are as likely to be remembered for their defeats as for their victories. So it was with Gen. George A. Custer, and so it was with a prominent British seaman, Capt. William Bligh, whose name is forever associated with the mutiny on one of his ships, the Bounty. Is Bligh a victim of history, or was he truly the monster portrayed in Hollywood? His career is the subject of an exhaustive study by New Zealand historian Anne Salmond. Bligh was not born to the sea; his father was a customs clerk. But the navy was one of the few professions in Britain where a man with no...

• The two faces of George Armstrong Custer.

General Custer was a controversial figure both before and after his death at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. Custer was a hero in the Civil War, but he was unfairly villified after his death for the massacre at Little Big Horn.

• Myth-Making: Battle of Little Big Horn

The battle fought this week (June 25) in 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in Montana, pitted Lieutenant Colonel George Custer and 210 members of the Seventh Cavalry against a far larger force of Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians commanded by the great Lakota chief, Sitting Bull. When the Battle of Little Bighorn was over, Custer and all of his men were dead. Yet, from their death sprang to life one of the great myths in American history - a myth we still celebrate. That myth of "Custer's Last Stand" depicts Custer as a courageous victim, attacked by bloodthirsty savages intent upon his destruction.

• Military History for Modern Kitchens

THE MEXICAN-AMERICAN WAR loomed when Sarah Borginis followed her husband through the harsh frontier into what is now Texas. She enlisted as a cook, got issued a musket, fired it expertly and was made an honorary colonel by Gen. Zachary Taylor. As America's boundaries pushed westward, Eveline Alexander left New York and joined her cavalry-officer husband in 1866 as he battled American Indians in what is now Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. A few years later, Civil War bride Libbie Custer traveled 500 miles deep into the Dakota Territory alongside her husband, Lt. Col. George A. Custer. In a fort surrounded by wilderness, she made a home away from home.

• Libbie Custer's 'Last Stand': Image Restoration, the Press, and Public Memory

A review of 265 newspaper and magazine articles indicates that for decades Elizabeth Custer worked to restore the image of her husband, George Custer, following his controversial demise in 1876. These same activities simultaneously functioned as what scholars have identified as important ingredients for situating a person or event in public memory, particularly by connecting Custer to the "taming" of the West and the Civil War, preserving artifacts, and reminiscing about her husband's heroic qualities.
