Comanche & Bloody Knife - books to borrow from archive.org

 Salvete Omnes,

- visiting Archive the world library - 

 

a short entry - there comes early summer or the  time of the year when I usually think about the famous Centennial Campaign of 1876AD, with the most famous battle of Little Big Horne/ Greasy Grass in the center of this commemoration. The battle anniversary just passed on the 25th of this month.

I recently did  discover a book by Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence about the horse that served as a war mount for Myles Keogh  of the 7th Cavalry- His Very Silence Speaks, Comanche, the Horse Who Survived Custer's Last Stand. - The book, published by Wayne University Press in 1989, is available for borrowing from the Archive. There is another book on Comanche, by Barron Brown - available eg on Amazon.

 

Also, another book is available for your pleasure - authored by Ben Innis titled Bloody Knife, Custer's Favorite Scout. (1994 edition published by Smoky Water Press). Bloody Knife was an Arikara warrior (from a Hunkpapa Lakota father and Arikara mother) and a US Army scout who died fighting the Lakota Sioux at Little Big Horn.
