This is great news for researchers:
These are searchable files. Just use the "Find" tool on your browser to locate items of interest. For example, in 1876, Volume 4, Part 5, which includes the period following LBH, there are 87 instances of the word Custer.
Enjoy!

In cooperation with the Library of Congress, the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) has completed the digitization of all historical issues of the Congressional Record dating to the first appearance of this publication on March 5, 1873. The final release of this project, covering the period 1873-1890, is being made available to the public free of charge on GPO's govinfo (www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/crecb_gpo/_crecb).Patience! Be forewarned that the collection is divided into huge PDF files. I downloaded two volumes, which were about 1,000 pages each, and it took over six minutes for each. That may have been due to high demand after the release announcement. Once you download a file, save it to your computer for quick access.
