Because of the overwhelming defeat in his final battle at the Little Bighorn in 1876, Custer's outstanding leadership and achievements in the Civil War have become forever overshadowed. People tend to forget that with the outbreak of the American Civil War, Custer answered his countries call to duty, and served as one of the finest cavalry commanders throughout the Civil War. He fought in the first major engagement of the war, the First Battle of Bull Run, and before war's end, Custer had been promoted to the temporary (brevet) rank of major general. At the conclusion of the Appomattox Campaign, in which he and his troops played a decisive role, Custer was on hand at General Robert E. Lee's surrender.

This 4th personal guidon was also handmade of silk by Libby Custer during the final days of the Civil War and delivered to him in the midst of Battle at Dinwiddie Court House near Petersburg, Virginia on March 31, 1865. This flag was carried as he led his troops through the breastworks of Confederate General George Pickett at the battle and instrumental in bringing about Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox Court House a few days later. Fortunately for its future survival, in 1876 it was left behind at Custer's headquarters at Fort Abraham Lincoln in the Dakota Territory as Custer and the Seventh Cavalry rode to their deaths at the Battle of Little Bighorn, thus preserving the flag.

Unfortunately, "Custer's Last Stand" and his political ambitions would would soon overshadow and destroy all his many accomplishments.

This personal command flag was only flown when Custer was on the battlefield. It was usually carried by a trooper who followed closely behind Custer throughout the battle. It has therefore sometimes been called his Headquarters flag. The actual "Headquarters Colours" would have been another guidon carried by the Third Cavalry during battle, most likely a version of the standard Union Cavalry Guidon.
