Senior Moments says: There is other websites that give the following: A) Captain Keogh's horse Comanche severely wounded, was the only survivor. http://www.linecamp.com/museums/americanwest/western_places/little_big_horn_custers_last_stand/little_big_horn_custers_last_stand.html B) COMANCHE - Army Horse Comanche is remembered as the only U.S. Army survivor of Custer's Last Stand. General George Custer and all of his men were killed in the famous battle with Native American tribes on 25 June {1876;} when reinforcements arrived after the battle, they found Comanche wounded but alive. (The horse had belonged not to Custer but to one of his officers, Captain Miles Keogh.) Comanche was shipped back to the United States and became a regimental mascot and living legend, trotted out for parades and other public occasions. After his death he was stuffed (somewhat akin to another famous horse, Trigger) and put on display at the natural history museum at the University of Kansas. http://www.who2.com/comanche.html Sat Oct 27 05:13:31 CDT 2001 (To fix link - McG) Apr 06 03, 3:15 PM
