Paul Horsted > Coules & McBride photo taken near Ft. Meade (2 miles east of Sturgis, S.D.), of Comanche, a horse who was found severely injured on the Little Big Horn battlfield, treated with care, and later awarded a special stall and caretaker (Sgt. Korn, also shown in the photo, who rescued the horse at the battlefield) at Ft. Meade. There's more to this story, too much to tell here...
