Not only was Ulysses Grant a real military genius, he was an astute politician. In 1875 President Grant knew there was a possibility that George Custer could be the Democratic Candidate for the Presidency in the next election. Grant knew Custer; knew he was charismatic, liked to talk, and knew how to do it.
Everything the President wasn’t. So President Grant had Custer transferred out west, knowing that there’d be a good chance Custer ‘d get himself killed. Custer couldn’t help himself, and on June 25, 1876 his headstrong, break neck attack methods sealed his fate, and that of his command against the 2000 or more Sioux and Cheyenne at the Little Big Horn or Greasy Grass River.
Errol Flynn was more than equal to the task of portraying Custer, in the 1941 classic western, They Died with their Boots On. Flynn and DeHavilland are absolutely charming in this entertaining flick.
