Custer's Last Fight (also known as Custer's Last Raid) is a 1912 American short silent Western film. It is the first film about George Armstrong Custer and his final stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.[1] Francis Ford, the older brother of director John Ford, directed the two-reel short and also starred in the title role. It was shot principally in "Inceville" at Santa Ynez Canyon in Pacific Palisades, California.
The film was re-released in 1925 and 1933.
