A bit of info about the horse Commanche ridden by Myles Keogh. I have been detecting the location of the campsite that Keogh was at when he took posession of Commanche. One of these days I keep hope that I will find an item marked with a name from someone encamped there. Got close once, I found a baggage ID tag that had been stamped on, but upon cleanup, it became obvious that it was only used to practice the art.

jarhead, my couch may take offense to that! Or, that big sack of taters in there, one! LOL!
My 89 yrs old uncle will still drag a deer 4 miles outta the woods. (Got 3, last season).

I love old photos like that! Thank you so much for sharing.
