Title: Myles Keogh's war horse "Comanche" with caretaker Gustave Korn
Date: 06/12/1877
Creator: Haynes, F. Jay--(Frank Jay),--1853-1921
Summary: Stereograph of War Horse Comanche" with Caretaker Gustave Korn, Captain Keogh's Mount, the only survivor of Custer's Last Stand, taken in June 12-22, 1877. He was bought by the U.S. Army in 1868 in St. Louis, Missouri and sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry liked the 15 hand bay gelding and bought him for his own personal mount, to be ridden only in battle. In 1868, while fighting the Comanche in Kansas, the horse was wounded in the hindquarters by an arrow, but continued to let Keogh fight from his back. Thus the horse was named "Comanche" to honor his bravery. Comanche was wounded many more times, always exhibiting the same toughness. Stereoview of Comanche, probably on the parade field of Fort Meade, (D.T.).
