Irishman (1840–1876) who fought in Italy during the 1860 Papal War before volunteering for the Union side in the Civil War. After the Civil War ended, Keogh received a permanent commission as Captain of Company I, 7th U.S. Cavalry Regiment commanded by George Armstrong Custer during the Indian Wars, and was killed with Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. ALS signed “M. W. Keogh, Capt. 7th Cav Brt Lt, Col U.S.A.,” one lightly-lined page, both sides, 7.5 x 9.75, Fort Harker, Kansas, January 20, 1869, bearing an oval “Minerva” blindstamp to the upper left corner. Letter to a Lieutenant. In part: “I am directed by Genl Sully to inform you that you will not be relieved until the Court Martial gets through with Capt. Byrnes. By sending in Sgt. Jackson, Private Kelly, Cummins & Brown. Witnesses in the case of Crilly the court will be able to adjourn…by the 23rd. Kelly was formally a Lance Sgt. Genl Sully wishes that you place the dug out & corrals in good repair so as to be ready for any cold weather that may any day be expected. In case you have not the means with you send in a list of what you need in the way of tools & lumber sufficient to leave things in thorough repair.” Some scattered light soiling and foxing, an area of staining to right side over a few words of text but not affecting legibility, and a few creases, otherwise fine condition. An interesting letter from one of the fiercest Indian fighters, whose horse, Comanche, is considered the only military survivor of Little Big Horn.
