You might say Custer's storied death at the Battle of The Little Big Horn was the making of Libby Custer. Likewise, it was wife Elizabeth Custer who largely created Custer's heroic legend; e.g. The Last Stand.

Benteen's natal horoscope. Custer's fiery impulsiveness rubbed his more grounded, and precise, cavalry Captain the wrong way. Custer's Mercury trined Benteen's Taurus Moon. They worked things out.
Here are the Custer's charts.
The couple compared below.
He may have experienced her call-to-duty Saturn as a damper on his expressive Mars.
There was always his leadership, his career and her alleged emotional frailty to consider even in times of closeness.
With Venus in Aries opposite Venus in Libra one could consider theirs a challenging relationship; the ultimate quest for a balanced relationship. Neither saw him/herself as a complete, independent person. In letters they repeatedly state the other's presence would make him / her whole again. Elizabeth appears to anchor George. Today one might term their pairing as co-dependent.
When she passed on April 4, 1933 Libby Custer had generated quite fortune for herself.
Protecting his legacy & his reputation earned her over $100,000.
In todays economy that's a net worth of $1.8 Million.
