Barry Photograph of "Comanche", US Army Captain Myles Keogh's horse, circa 1879-1890, the severely wounded 'lone survivor' of the Battle of the Little Bighorn, "Custer's Last Stand" in Montana Territory on June 25, 1876. Provenance: From the John Kleinschmidt collection which was on loan to the C.M. Russell Museum from 1987 to 1993 and included in the "The Cowboy West: 100 Years of Photography 1992-1993 exhibit. David Francis Barry (1854–1934) was a 19th-century photographer of the American West. David F. Barry made his name photographing Lakota people notables such as Sitting Bull, Rain-in-the-Face, Gall (Phizi), John Grass and others. The Lakota people nicknamed him, "Little Shadow Catcher." Severely wounded, Comanche was found clinging to life on the field where two days earlier five companies of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer’s command were slain at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876. Recognizing the significance of the moment, soldiers did everything possible to ensure Comanche survived. Remarkably, Comanche recovered from seven grievous wounds, including a bullet that crashed through Keough’s knee and into the side of his prized mount. Comanche became a living symbol of bravery, toughness, and determination for the United States Army. The famous horse would never be ridden again per order of Col. Samuel Sturgis, 7th Cavalry.

Barry's studio stamp is on the reverse upper left corner, "Capt Keoghs Horse only survivor of Custer battle" written in pencil.
