Civil War - The young George Armstrong Custer 1862 T-Shirt

Location: The Peninsula, VA

This is the staff of General Fitz-John Porter.

Reclining with the puppy is a young George A Custer, he was still a young lieutenant when this picture was taken. Just a little after this photo was taken, he became a Brigadier General, and became known as the gallant young superstar of the Union Army.

Fun fact, he loved dogs. He was always seen with at least one dog, always brought them with him on trips. Sometimes they were offered as a gift, others had puppies, over all he had between 40-80 dogs.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
