February, 1932
Valley on June 27th and trap the Sioux. On June 25th General Custer met the horde of Sioux warriors and found he was greatly outnumbered.
Everybody today knows the history of what happened at Little Big Horn. General Custer and his entire command of five companies were wiped out to the last man. Major Reno and the remainder of the Seventh suffered heavily and were barely able to hold off the charge of the Sioux redskins until Terry and Gibbon arrived two days later to rescue them.
"How did you escape?" I asked.
"By the time the walking cavalrymen reached Powder River," Mr. Horner answered, "we were unfit to accompany our outfits any farther on foot. It was decided to leave us to guard the newly established base camp on Powder River while Custer, Terry
and Gibbon continued on toward the Little Big Horn. There were several lame mules left with us. When the boys pulled out, we were the laughing stock of the whole outfit. They called us the Jackass Battery. We didn't mind, because even a mule looked good to us after our long trek over the prairie."
"You surely were a lucky man," I said.
"Luck does play an important role in one's life," the old veteran said. "Just before our outfit pulled away from Powder River, my buddy, Charlie Schmidt, and I learned about there being one horse available. Both of us wanted desperately to go along. We matched coins for the horse. Charlie won. I was left behind in charge of the mules while he rode away with Custer. I never saw him again."
