He was not the only surviving horse of that massacre, but was the most badly wounded among them. After being given good medical care, he was kept in a comfortable stable and never ridden again. Only used for ceremonial occasions. He was not a high officer's horse. He was a captain's horse.

I remember the name due to a song recorded by Johnny Horton. Truly a great horse. Great song too.
