Campaign to hang Paxson Custer painting in Montana Capitol
The State Federation of Women's Clubs leads a drive to keep Paxson's "Custer's Last Stand" in the Montana Capitol at Helena. The effort, begun a year ago by Mrs. T. A. Grigg of Butte, draws support from the Butte Rotary Club and local groups, with plans for a Billings exhibition and a possible purchase. The painting, 5 by 9 feet with 200 figures, centers on General Custer and portrays allied officers, Indian chiefs, and soldiers in a historically detailed scene.
