Dashing Myles Keogh was born in County Carlow, Ireland.
But the romantic and military-minded young man did not stay there for long.
Keogh fought for the Papal Army in Italy against Garibaldi, for the Union Army against the Confederates during the American Civil War, and then with the Seventh Cavalry against the Sioux and Cheyenne at the famed Battle of the Little Bighorn/ Custer’s Last Stand in faraway Montana.
What sent this Irishman so far from home?
…
The best book (image is in the final slide of this video) on Myles Keogh is
MYLES KEOGH: The Life and Legend of an "Irish Dragoon" in the Seventh Cavalry,
edited and compiled by John P. Langellier, Kurt Hamilton Cox, & Brian Pohanka
(Montana and the West Series, Vol 9)
