Trooper Nathan Short

Posted by John Conley on January 29, 2001 at 16:17:04:

I'm about half-way through reading Richard Fox's excellent book "Archaeology, History and Custer's Last Battle". What an excellent book it is. However, on page #156, the author is trying to sort out some of the field markers and also mentions that "Bodies of four of the nine men were found elsewhere(on the battlefield)". The author goes on to say: (Trooper Nathan) Short (was probably found)miles away on Rosebud Creek". Unless the author mentions this again toward the end of the book, there was no further reference to this Rosebud body discovery. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME. I'm EXTREMELY INTERESTED in reading more about this. Thanks in advance.
