Mystery of the Rosebud
On August 3, 1876, 39 days after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, a
fully equipped 7th Cavalry Horse was found dead with a single shot
to the head. Next to it was an 1873 Model U.S. Springfield Carbine.
No soldier's body was found. Did a soldier get away? If so, why
did he abandon his horse and weapon. Did he escape the battle
only to be run down by Indians and killed. If so, where was the body?
Douglas Ellison of historic Medora, North Dakota, unravels the
mystery and brings to light the circumstances and conclusion of
this long sought mystery.
Doug Ellison is a local historian and owner of the Western Edge,
the finest Western Bookstore in the upper Midwest. If traveling
through western North Dakota, Be sure and stop in Medora, ND;
once home to the Marquis DeMores, and Teddy Roosevelt. The
Western Edge will quench your thirst for any western history
subject; from the fur trade, to the Indians of the plains, to Custer.
