Steve Alexander has been acknowledged by both the Michigan and Ohio Senates for his lifetime work and portrayal of America’s most controversial military leader.

Steve has appeared in over a dozen docudramas as the General, most recently the Discovery Times' "Only in America." His work for the History Channel includes “Command Decisions,” “History Hogs: On The Trail with General Custer,” and “Little Big Horn – The Untold Story.” Both A&E’s Biography of Custer and Bill Kurtis' New Explorers “Betrayal at Little Big Horn” received awards for the top historical presentations in 1998 and 1999 .

Steve is recognized as the official General Custer for New Rumley, Ohio, the General’s birthplace, and he and his wife Sandy now reside in and are restoring the Bacon-Custer home in Monroe, Michigan, the General’s adopted hometown.

Easily recognizable to the people of Nebraska, Kansas, and North Dakota, Steve has attended the "The Grand Duke Alexis Rendezvous" and has appeared at Fort Hays and Fort Abraham Lincoln for the past decade. He was honored by representing the state of North Dakota during the 2005 Presidential Inaugural Parade in Washington D. C.

Instrumental in reestablishing the Annual Custer’s Last Stand Reenactment in Hardin, Montana, he now participates in the Real Bird Reenactment of the Little Big Horn on the original battlefield each year during the Anniversary weekend.

Steve is the recipient of the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association’s Editor’s Choice Award and was duly honored by Joe Medicine Crow, Tribal Historian, who bestowed him with the Crow Indian name "Ika Dieux’ Daka"—“Son of the Morning Star”— a name previously held by only one man, George Armstrong Custer.
