We don t know much about Mrs. Nash, a laundress who served the wife of General George Armstrong Custer. Nash was born in or near Mexico, and spoke Spanish; she worked for the United States Army, and was present for the Battle of Little Bighorn. She married three times to enlisted men. And after she passed away and her body was being prepared for burial, it was discovered that her body was not what those who knew her for years had assumed.
