| Publication Copy | Publication History Mastai, Boleslaw & Marie Louise, The Stars and The Stripes: The American Flag from Birth of the Republic to the Present, Alfred Knopf, New York, 1973, p. 222. "This flag of forty-four stars was floated over Ft. Keogh, Montana. The garrison was probably named after Captain Myles W. Keogh, who fell at the battle fought at the junction of the Big Horn and Little Big Horn rivers in South Dakota (Territory) in late June 1876, where Colonel George Custer and his troop of two hundred men were wiped out by the superior forces of Chief Sitting Bull. Fort Keogh was notable not only as the largest and most important military post on the Northwest frontier but as the scene of government experiments in the training Indian scouts. There, under the flag shown here, Lieutenant S. C. Robertson and Lieutenant E.W. Casey formed their Crow scouts into the First Irregular Cavalry unit. Frederick Remington spent some time at Fort Keogh, and recorded daily life in and around the fort in numerous sketches." |
