Abner Dowling

(Unfinished)Abner Dowling was a member of the U.S. Army during the Great War and the Second Great War. He was General George Custer's adjudant while he was a major during the Great War. During that time Dowling grew a fierce hatred for Custer. He tried to stop Custer from making army movments that Dowling knew were mistakes, but most of the time Custer didn't bother to listen. At the time Dowling even felt that the Barrel Roll Campaign would be a disaster because of the fact that it was against barrel policy at the time, but it turned out to be the campaign that won the war. Custer and Dowling both earned promotions because of the campaign. After the war Dowling continued to serve under Custer during the time that Custer spent in Philadelphia and when Custer served in Canada. He was also in a car with Custer, during Custer's retirement parade, when Arthur McGregor attempted to assassinate Custer by throwing a bomb into the car. Custer was able to save both of their lives by throwing the bomb out of the car. Once Custer retired, Dowling was appointed military governor of Salt Lake City.
