Captain Myles Keogh was born in Ireland, and served with distinction in the army of the Papal States in the war for Italian unification between 1860 and 1862, for which service he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of St. Gregory and the Pro Petri Sede Medal. Recruited, along with many other experienced European combat officers, by the United States Army, he again demonstrated superior soldiering, fought in many major engagements and rose to the rank of Brevet Lt. Colonel. Keogh decided to remain in the regular Army after the war, and by 1866 had been assigned to the 7th Cavalry, eventually receiving command of I Company during Custer's Black Hills Campaign.
"Keogh died during Custer's Last Stand – the Battle of the Little Bighorn on 25 June 1876. The senior captain among the five companies wiped out with Custer that day, and commanding one of two squadrons within the Custer detachment, Keogh died in a "last stand" of his own, surrounded by the men of Company I. When the sun-blackened and dismembered dead were buried three days later, Keogh's body was found at the center of a group of troopers that included his two sergeants, company trumpeter and guidon bearer. The slain officer was stripped but not mutilated, perhaps because of the "medicine" the Indians saw in the Agnus Dei ("Lamb of God") he wore on a chain about his neck or because "many of Sitting Bull's warriors" were Catholic.[6] Keogh's left knee had been shattered by a bullet that corresponded to a wound through the chest and flank of his horse, indicating that horse and rider may have fallen together prior to the last rally.
"The badly injured animal was found on the fatal battlefield, and nursed back to health as the 7th Cavalry's regimental mascot, which he remained until his death in 1890.[7] This horse, Comanche, is considered the only U.S. military survivor of the battle, though several other badly wounded horses were found and destroyed at the scene. Keogh's bloody gauntlet and the guidon of his Company I were recovered by the army three months after Little Bighorn at the Battle of Slim Buttes.
