Episode Details

One hundred fifty years after his fatal clash at Little Bighorn, George Custer’s legacy still divides America — from Michigan’s Monroe, where his statue stands amid protests, to the battlefield where Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors defended their land. Once a Civil War hero who led Michigan’s cavalry and rose to major general, Custer’s post-war actions fueled controversy. His wife, Libbie, fought to preserve his memory, even as the nation grappled with his legacy. This week, the National Park Service honors the anniversary with ceremonies and dances, drawing thousands — a reminder that history’s most dramatic figures still stir debate, pain, and reflection.
