Behind our quarters on Fort Leavenworth, where there's now a parking lot, used to stand a small building where Custer was court martialed for AWOL and conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline in 1867. I never heard of this until I researched the post; a great deal of history there, all of it sad.
BTW, he was found guilty of five of 11 charges and suspended from rank and command for one year with forfeit of pay. a decade later.....
