View AttachmentDucemusThere is a little deep ravine behind Keogh's swale  Honest. In fact there are several but not all so deep. Best wishes. I could not fathom the shadow in foreground. It could not be a shadow. they fall relative to sun position. It is a shadow and therefore indicates orientation. HR That box you drew on the Google map is a great place but it is not on the battlefield. That area is across 212. That dirt road is where we rode coming out on highway 212. The picture I believe has the river in the background indicated by the trees. Regards AZ Ranger |

That is what I thought too. You tend to only see trees like that around a water source.

The cardinal orientation applied to D.F. Barry's image of skirmishers is a camera looking slightly west of north from battle ridge and viewing towards and over the box on 212. Rather than looking west or slightly south of west across LBH valley, the view in concept and expressed on the Google Earth terrain map is, slightly west of north. Mind boggling but the terrain fits.  A skirmish line where one was! Rather than where students and historians want them to be.  Try viewing north from the Indian Monument into Custer Creek. Same observation producing terrain to match that in Barry's image. |

Hi, I quote from the amusement arcade but unfortunately it may also be the history - no one will ever know (for sure). In the mounting apocalypse, the next to fall was most likely Captain Myles Keogh and company I. Some evidence suggests that Keogh’s demise may have begun in Medicine Tail Coulee where he led the assault on the Cheyenne camp. A shoe and bloody canvas legging with Keogh’s name on it, found at the MTC crossing after the battle, suggests he may have been wounded there. Keogh and company I, sequestered in reserve from the initial firestorm on Calhoun Hill protected the horses. When found, Keogh had been hit by a bullet in the knee that probably severed his femoral artery. Surrounded by scores of loyal protectorates who died in a bunch, Keogh’s body was found unmolested, possibly as a result of a Catholic medallion suspended around his neck, which warriors might have viewed as powerful medicine. Source - Incredible. NPS. How about, Keogh's big toe! Did it tap? I happen to know the source within NPS and am happy to confide if you let me have $2.1 million to buy a Custer battle flag. ps I can advise in definate terms, with evidence, as to why Keogh was not mutilated. It is related to Sitting Bull's later death in an unusual way. Clue < He was the original Clint Eastwood. |
