Many people are familiar with Myles Keogh, the Irishman and veteran of the Papal Wars that served with Custer at the Little Bighorn. Yet few remember the Scot who fell at the Greasy Grass:

Very cool Todd, thanks for remembering this trooper of the "Grey Horse" company

I served with the 6th US Cavalry in Korea and Germany, so from a former cav trooper, thanks for the info. I always enjoy reading about the cavalry battles of the old west and the men who fought them.

If you ask most people "How many survivors were there from the Battle of the Little Bighorn?' they will answer, "none". Actually there were several thousand, all Indians.
