Manuscript written in an unknown hand, titled at the top, “George A. Custer,” also in an unknown hand, one lightly-lined 8 x 12.5 page, both sides. Manuscript lists, in great detail, the decorated cavalry officer's service record from his time as a cadet at the United States Military Academy from 1857 to 1861 through the Civil War to his assignment as Lieutenant Colonel to Fort Riley, Kansas in 1866. The list, which includes all the major battles in which Custer participated together with major assignments, punctuated in the left margin noting the points of promotion, both regular and brevet with a circled number. Docketed "Geo. A. Custer" in another hand. Light soiling at folds, else fine condition. The document is highly detailed in describing Custer's accomplishments. For instance, not only is his service at Gettysburg mentioned, it notes that Custer was involved in "various skirmishes in pursuit of the enemy to Warrentown, with constant fighting at Moultrey, July 4, Smithburg July 5, Hagerstown, July 6, Williamsport July 6, Boonsboro July 8, Williamsport July 14, 1863."
