Best known for his 16-foot painting, Custer’s Last Fight, which was purchased by the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and reproduced in advertising countless times, Cassily Adams–a descendant of President John Adams–was an Ohio native who studied in Boston and Cincinnati. Adams served in the Civil War and was wounded at the Battle of Vicksburg. In 1870, he moved to St. Louis where Custer’s Last Fight was painted and exhibited to great acclaim.
