Bank check, 7 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Custer, “G. A. Custer,” payable to Thomas Polk & Co. for $600.00, November 30, 1872. A two-cent George Washington revenue stamp is affixed to lower left, and a vertical pencil notation to right edge reads, “Int. From Nov. 20/72.” Encapsulated in a plastic PSA/DNA authentication holder grading the autograph “NM7.” Some slight spreading to ink in a few letters of signature, cancellation cut to center, show-through from bold endorsement on reverse, and some scattered light toning, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from University Archives.
In October of 1871, General George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry were sent to the Taylor Barracks in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, to monitor activities of the Ku Klux Klan, fight bushwhackers, and shut down illegal distilleries. They would remain there until March of 1873, when they were ordered to the Dakota Territory to protect a party of Northern Pacific Railroad surveyors from the Sioux. This scarce check, made out to Thomas Polk & Co., the town’s only bank, is only the fifth from Custer that we have offered.
