Holy cow, it worked! Sorta. Click on the link and it works. Kinda big, but it worked! Thanks, Diane.

I don't think I did much except perhaps confuse things more!

Most web browsers will display photos in a size that people can see, so it's fine to link photos that way.

If you want to post it directly in your message, you'll need to make it smaller. Then just put in the same web address except with (img) and (/img) on either end of the address, with parentheses replaced with brackets.

Frank, You are almost there Bud ! With photobucket, place your cursor inside the third box down, the one labled Img, then right click it, when it is highlighted in blue, left click it and select copy.

Next come the the message board and open a thread, place your cursor inside the message box, righ click and select paste. That is all you have to do. Photobucket takes care of the rest.

You will not have to slect the insert image button. just place the cursor in the box, right click and select paste, then hit preview and you should see your image.

Is John Pommer the trooper that from wounds received at LBH died on the Far West?

[bubbabod]

Lowdog, I'm guessing he is not, not because I know that, but because his marker is here at Custer's main camp, and this expedition was in 1874, so I don't know why he'd be buried here instead of at the LBH.

Pommer was with Crook.

This is from Hedren's book, Traveler's Guide to the Great Sioux War...

"John Pommer Grave – Private John Pommer of Company I, 5th Cavalry, died along French Creek on October 3, 1876, stricken not by combat wounds but chronic diarrhea. Crook’s men spent nearly a month in the Black Hills recuperating from the rigors of the summer campaign, but Pommer’s luck ran out."
