I was looking at what's left of le Vizir just last month. The poor beast is rather threadbare. |

I was happy to see a photo of Comanche, CPT Myles Keogh's trusty mount from the Little Big Horn, included. I must confess more than one tear comes to my eye on the rare occasions when I have a chance to see him. Tom |
