Custer, also known as The Legend of Custer, is a 17-episode military-western television series that aired on ABC from September 6, 1967, to December 27, 1967, starring Wayne Maunder as Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer. During the American Civil War, Custer rose to the rank of major general, the Union Army's youngest. After the war, he was reduced to the rank of Captain, but was reinstated in 1866 as a Lieutenant Colonel in charge of the Seventh Cavalry at Fort Riley, Kansas. Many of the regiment's soldiers were deserters, former Confederates, or even felons. The series was canceled before the screenplay chronology would have reached the Little Big Horn River in southwestern Montana, where all died in a Sioux Indian ambush on June 25, 1876. U.S. General Alfred H. Terry, played by Robert F. Simon, disapproved of Custer's long hair and most of his battle strategy against Indians. Slim Pickens played California Joe Milner, a scout. Sioux Chief Crazy Horse was played by Michael Dante. Sergeant James Bustard, a former Confederate soldier, was played by Peter Palmer. Captain Myles Keogh was played by Grant Woods. Read Morgan, who previously played a cavalry lieutenant on NBC's The Deputy, played a medicine man in the episode "Spirit Woman."
