Here it is, 134 years to the day (thank you, Frodo) when George Armstrong Custer passed through the Pearly Gates to his part of the Heavenly Mansion as a result of his unfortunate breaking of that Sabbath morning at the Little Bighorn in 1876. And, yes, good old Glory Hog George had gotten saved at Monroe Presbyterian Church in February, 1865 while on furlough from his part of the Civil War, according to author Jeffry D. Wert in his book, Custer: The Controversial Life of George Armstrong Custer. But, of course, you knew that fact from reading the first Appendix of God Caused the Civil War, now didn't you?!!I wonder what color his part of the Mansion was painted...blood red, Great Plains green, or maybe a certain shade of Clairol Gold in honor of his Lakota Sioux-given moniker?
