Who doesn't like Johnny Horton. Great singer and songwriter.

[@taun856]

Comanche wasn't Custer's mount, he was ridden by Captain Myles Keogh who was the Commanding Officer of I Troop. By a special order (Known as a General Order) it was commanded that Comanche never be ridden again for any reason under any circumstance and that he be used only in parades and for special events where he would be led by halter, in a position of honor. When he died he was given a full military funeral - only one of four horses in the US Military to ever be given one. (I had to do a report on him when I attended the Army's Senior NCO Development Course).

Great information. Something I never knew. Thanks

[@RobertWorley]

ok i always thought it was custers mount. how many arrows did he take?

[@privateer9181]

Comanche’s wikipedia page is a good read

[@taun856]

@@privateer9181 Yes it is, brought back old memories of doing my own research Lol.

[@bonniest.pierre2045]

I believe he was also wounded in earlier battles.

I ❤ it!!!!!!🎉🎉

My favorite Johnny horton's song. Sad song. I was always interested in the Custer story. Brings tears to my eyes.

[@terrywoodyyc]

It's so great to hear Johnny again --- I wore out my vinyl copies of his albums when I was a kid, and this is one of my faves of his. I like all his songs, Springtime in Alaska is a great one, and so is Whispering Pines. Thanks for the shout-out Don, I'm delighted that you like the hat. I'll have to find another one that says Canada, but doesn't have Canada printed on it so you can alternate. I'll give it some thought! Thanks for the great reaction!!!

Comanche was the only survivor of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. He was the personal mount of Capt. Myles Keogh. Custer had two horses...Vic and Dandy...I don't recall which, if either, he rode at Little Big Horn. Johnny Horton told great stories. US soldiers found Comanche, badly wounded, two days after the battle. After being transported to Fort Lincoln, he was slowly nursed back to health. After a lengthy convalescence, Comanche was retired. In April 1878, Colonel Samuel D. Sturgis issued the following order:

After Comanche died of old age he was stuffed and is now on display at Kansas University.

A very good song sad at the same time !

[@stevenrogers9123]

Johnny Horton is one of my favorites. I was actually the one who requested the first song of his you reacted to. North To Alaska. He has many others. Honky Tonk man is a good one, Springtime is Alaska is 40 below. Many others. The horse survived.

[@MrPr3shaff]

Johnny Horton, history in a song.

[@CindyWhopantsCarter3421]

I’ve listened to this numerous times in my life but never with headphones on, WOW the sound of the horse walking really surprised me

[@donnaowens3349]

I can never make it through this song without crying.

[@keiththompson7280]

Comanche is at the museum at KU collage in Kansas

[@shellyboyer2400]

You need to listen to Jennifer Nettles sing the song Stay it is a great song

[@d281833]

Comanche survived and is mounted and on display at the University of Kansas. Bit of trivia, he married Hank Williams widow Billie Jean when Hank passed away and then himself was killed in a car accident. Stay away from Billie Jean, it don't end well.

Can not believe I watched and forgot to comment thanks Austin for the great request .Thanks Don for the great reaction

[@rogerguinn4619]

Johnny did a lot of what you could call "Historical Ballads", all of which have a basis in fact. Give "Jim Bridger" a listen for another good one!

[@thewindle]

Johnny Horton is one of those country artists that deserves more recognition than he gets and in my opinion should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame, but for some reason isn't. Great reaction.

[@diannthomas5653]

I love learning history thru Johnny Horton songs. Now do Jim Bridger

[@P-M-869]

It is said that they didn't scalp General Custer because Comanche returned to him.

[@rogerguinn4619]

Still think you should do Ian Tyson's "Navajo Rug"

[@jayshults8920]

Great suggestion
