Not much has been happening here. This past week the weather was beautiful. Yesterday it took a turn for the worst. It's not awful... it's just January in South Dakota.

Next Saturday I will hit the Archives again. I want to see if I can find an obituary for Samuel McCormick. McCormick was the trooper who gave his horse to Lt. McIntosh as the soldiers were leaving the timber. McIntosh jumped on McCormick's horse and exited the timber on his way to the top of the bluffs on the other side of the Little Big Horn River. He was killed not far from where he began his journey.

McCormick survived the battle and lived another 32 years. He died in 1908 and is buried in the Bear Butte Cemetery in Sturgis.

Take care.
