Custer's Last Fight 0000-0766

A feature film produced by U.S. film pioneer, Thomas Harper Ince (1882-1924). If Griffith was Americas leading cinema artist, then Ince was surely its first name in spectacle. Having quickly made his reputation directing a number of historical westerns in 1912 and 1913, he tired of directing just as quickly and by 1916 had become the incomparable, demanding producer he would remain for the rest of his short life. (He was known to hire entire circuses and used 200,000 land surveyors to ensure the quality of his productions.) For The Greatest Wild West Feature Ever Filmed he recreated the bloody 1876 Battle of the Little Bighorn in which renowned Indian fighter General George Custer was destroyed along with much of his force, by the Oglalia Siouz. The fact that the film was not called Custers Last Stand as the engagement is commonly known, suggests that some sort of copyright conflict ensued over the title.
