Horse casualties at LBH

[jenny]

Hi everyone,
I'm creating a portrait series of all who died at the Battle of Little Bighorn. This has turned into a fascinating research project. I'd like to include a long canvas of every single horse that died but I need a number - cavalry and Indian ponies. Any ideas?

Thanks,
J

So, I've done some research since I posted this ^^ and am including a link for Dr. John Gray's article published by the Kansas Historical Society www.kshs.org/p/veterinary-service-on-custer-s-last-campaign/13275

I know some have problems with Gray, but at least he broached the topic. It is not a well-researched or popular topic.

This is only research for cavalry horses, so I'm still searching for at least a ballpark figure for the number of NA ponies killed.

Thanks,
Jenny
