This book has been several years in the writing and in contemplating that another book of the Custer battle or anything even relevant to it be necessary. How much more can be written? But of everything I've read, I've never had my two main questions answered. How was it that a man and horse could together be so shot up, unless they were together until the demise of one of them, and secondly whatever happened to the Papal medals Myles Keogh always wore and was found still on his body, the Indians leaving them behind? In my search for the answers to these questions I found a man that not many really know or understand, outside of being on a surviving mount. Not only was he a soldier, but a man who was proud of the prestige of his rank of Brevet Colonel in the United States Army.
