== Biography ==
William B. T. Trego was born in Yardley, Bucks County, Pennsylvania in 1858, the son of the artist Jonathan Kirkbridge Trego. At the age of two William's hands and feet became nearly paralyzed, either from polio, or from a doctor administering a dose of calomel (mercurous chloride). Trego's family moved to Detroit in 1874 where William was enrolled in the local school, but an incident where 16-year-old William burned off all his hair with a gas jet made his father decide to teach William in his studio from then on. Despite his crippled hands, young William showed an aptitude for art, learning to paint with a brush jammed in his right hand while he guided it with his left.〔Battery B, 4th U.S. Light Artillery (William B.T. Trego )〕 William Trego first received public attention when he exhibited a painting titled ''The Charge of Custer at Winchester'' in 1879 at the Michigan State Fair. His depiction of George Armstrong Custer's charge at the Third Battle of Winchester was described by the ''Cleveland Press'' as "one of the best historical paintings of the kind that has ever been produced by an American artist."
