Custer's ride revisited by local reenactor Steve Alexander

In 1876, General George Custer led the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army on a fateful journey across four hundred miles of prairie in thirty nine days. Today, Monroe resident and Custer reenactor Steve Alexander begins recreating Custer's last ride, leading troops of the Frontier Army of Dakotas and Kincaid's Irregulars portraying the US Army‘s 7th Cavalry.

Ronda Stiffler, my co-blogging partner at http://www.blogsmonroe.com/custer/ is writing a series of articles for the Monroe Evening News on the recreation of this historic ride that landed Custer immortality.
