簡述

編輯

卡士打祖先居住在德國萊茵蘭,在1693年左右移民北美

1839年生於俄亥俄州朱威特英語Jewett, Ohio,並在1861年西點軍校砲兵科當屆最後一名畢業,曾率領第七騎兵團參與美國南北戰爭,曾經以密歇根騎兵五百人,殲滅一支南軍騎兵旅,俘虜官兵七百餘人,1865年時,官拜少將

南北戰爭結束後,復級為正規軍中校,率領第七騎兵團

美國淘金熱風潮大起,白人拓荒,卻時常遭到美國原住民印第安人獵首,於是卡士打奉命進兵綏剿。

1876年6月25日,聞名美軍的卡士打參與北美印第安戰爭,自己率領兩百餘騎兵與雷諾少校(Reno)、班廷上尉(Benteen)分兵三路,進攻蒙大拿州的黑山山谷,沒想到雷諾與班廷遇阻退卻,卡士打及其所部遭印第安酋長瘋馬」、「紅雲」與「坐牛」率領的三千名印第安人戰士伏擊,彈盡陣亡(一說為自殺),是為小大角戰役
