The title names scenes from *Custer's Last Fight*, a panoramic painting of the 1876 battle on the Little Bighorn River, where George Armstrong Custer and his command were killed by Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. In the 1880s, cycloramas, huge circular paintings viewed from a central platform, drew large crowds to American cities, and this print documents the Boston Cyclorama Company's treatment of the subject. The record comes from an old caption card and has not been verified, so the May 27, 1889 date should be read with that in mind.
