Battle of the Greasy Grass

[Rsmyth]

Battle of the Greasy Grass is the name American Indians give to the Battle of the Little Big Horn or "Custers Last Stand." Captain Myles Walter Keogh died there along with Custer on that infamous day. Initially buried on the battle field his body was transported to Auburn, NY where he was buried at Fort Hill Cemetery. One of the pall bearers was General William H. Seward son of the Secreatary of State. Forty-four years later Seward Jr. would be buried in the same cemetery next to his father and within view of Keogh's grave.
