Unfinished oil painting by Albert T. Reid (1873-1955) depicting George Armstrong Custer (1839-1876) leading the soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry out of Fort Hays. The artist began the painting as a result of a local campaign to commission the work. The campaign failed to reach its target amount, however, and the artist stopped work on the painting.
