Hey SteveUK, I said US, not American. The choice was intentional. The United States at the time did not include the tribes involved.

The Seventh Cavalry’s “sole survivor” was a horse named Comanche. Owned by Lt. Col. Myles Keough, Comanche remained with his owner on Custer Hill.
After his death, he was stuffed and kept on display at the University of Kansas, where he remains to this day.
Isn't it ironic the horse had a Native American name ?
In 1868, while fighting the Comanche in Kansas, the horse was wounded in the hindquarters by an arrow, but continued to let Keogh fight from his back. Thus the horse was named “Comanche” to honor his bravery. Comanche was wounded many more times, always exhibiting the same toughness.

Jack Crabb, was a fictional or fictionalized character who claimed to be the last and only white man who survived at Custers last stand. This is not to say he was or even if he was real, but I am also looking for the true answer.

History tells us that no US Cavalrymen survived this battle. There is a silly book and movie about "Little Big Man" who survived, but this story is bad fiction. I think a horse is called the only survivor. If that's true, it has been dead a long time.

My understanding is that there were no recorded white survivors of Little Big Horn. If there were, they must've kept it to themselves.

Do you not regard native Americans as Americans?
