FOOTNOTE:

[A]It may be said here, for the benefit of the reader who does not remember, that “Old Curly” was a name given by his soldiers to Colonel Custer because of his long, curly hair. The Indian, who had called Custer “White-chief-of-the-long-hair,” readily adopted the loving title conferred by the dashing colonel’s loyal followers.—Author.
