Famous Birthdays

The eighth President of the United States (1837–1841). Before his presidency, he served as Vice President and as secretary of state under Andrew Jackson. Of Dutch ancestry, he was the first president not of British or Irish descent, and was also the first president to be born a United States citizen.
George Armstrong Custer (1839 - 1876)
As a cavalry officer Custer was known for his aggressive charges. He was one of the officers present at Appomattox Court House to receive the Confederate surrender in April 1865.
In 1876 Custer was commissioned to lead an expedition against the Plains Indians, culminating in The Battle of Little Bighorn. Otherwise known as 'Custer's Last Stand', Custer and his forces were famously cut down to a man and defeated by a larger Indian coalition made up of Lakota and Cheyenne warriors.

Nelson Mandela (1918 - 2013)
