Wayne Maunder played the lead role of then Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer in the series. Custer is also known as "The Legend of Custer." During the American Civil War, George Armstrong Custer rose through the ranks of the Union Army to become the youngest major general ever appointed. After the war, during the process of troop reductions, he was relegated to the rank of Captain; but, in 1866, he was reinstated as a Lieutenant Colonel in charge of the Seventh Cavalry, which was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. The majority of the troops in the regiment were destitute individuals, some of them were even convicted criminals. The show was canceled before the screenplay chronology would have reached the Little Big Horn River in southeast Montana, when all of the characters were supposed to have died on June 25, 1876, during an ambush by Sioux Indians. Custer's commanding officer, U.S. General Alfred H. Terry, who disapproved of Custer's long hair and most of his methods for fighting Indians, was portrayed by Robert F. Simon. Terry was Custer's superior officer. Slim Pickens portrayed the role of California Joe Milner, a scout, in the movie. Michael Dante portrayed the role of Crazy Horse, the Sioux chief. James Bustard, a former Confederate soldier, was portrayed by Peter Palmer, who also played the role. Grant Woods played the role of Captain Myles Keogh in this production. Read Morgan, who had previously featured on NBC's The Deputy as a cavalry officer, had a guest appearance as a medicine man in the episode "Spirit Woman."
