"Custer's Last Fight" is a notable American artwork that depicts the Battle of the Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand, which took place on June 25, 1876. The painting was created by Cassilly Adams in 1884 and later became widely known through a chromolithograph commissioned by the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association in 1896. This reproduction was used as a promotional piece for the brewery and was distributed to saloons and other establishments across the United States, helping to cement the image of the battle in the American consciousness.

The original painting by Adams portrays the dramatic and chaotic scene of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and his 7th Cavalry surrounded by Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors. The artwork reflects the perspective of the time, glorifying Custer's final moments and the concept of the "noble defeat." Despite its historical inaccuracies, the painting played a significant role in shaping the mythos of the American West and the legacy of Custer's Last Stand.

Anheuser-Busch's decision to use "Custer's Last Fight" as a marketing tool was part of a broader trend of businesses leveraging Western imagery to appeal to a sense of American identity and nostalgia. The chromolithographs produced by the company were based on a version of Adams' painting that had been modified by Otto Becker in 1896 to suit the needs of the brewery's advertising campaign.

The widespread distribution of the Anheuser-Busch chromolithographs ensured that "Custer's Last Fight" became one of the most recognized and enduring representations of the Battle of the Little Bighorn. It has been analyzed by historians and art critics alike for its role in perpetuating the myth of the American frontier and its impact on popular culture. The painting and its reproductions remain a subject of interest for their historical significance and their contribution to the narrative of the American West.
