- Lot Description
Lot of 3, featuring cabinet photograph of Myles Keogh in civilian dress, credited on mount verso to E. Klauber, Louisville, KY. Accompanied by printed lecture delivered by G.A. Hayes-McCoy at University College, Galway, on October 19, 1965 entitled Captain Myles Walter Keogh, United States Army 1840-1876, 46pp.
A native of Ireland, Keogh served as a mercenary in the Pope's military in actions against Garibaldi. He was awarded the Pro Petri Sede Medal and Cross of the Order of St. Gregory. After his short-lived Papal service he emigrated to the US in May 1862 to seek fame and fortune in the military, and during the Civil War was staff officer to General Buford with a distinguished record.
Following the war, Keogh received a commission as captain in the 7th Cavalry under George Armstrong Custer. Although he lost his life with the rest of the 7th at Little Bighorn, Keogh and Custer apparently were not as dismembered as the remainder of the unit, some reports suggest because of the religious medals (Papal) he wore in battle. Keogh's horse, Comanche, is considered the only military survivor of the battle.
The lot also includes a CDV of friend and fellow Irishman, Daniel Joseph Keily, dressed in full uniform, wearing his Pro Petri Sede Medal and Cross of the Order of St. Gregory, and holding a sword, possibly signed and inscribed on verso, Daniel Keily, Premier Lieutenant au Service de ? Siege, Rome January 19th, 1861. With partially visible credit to Roman photographer on mount verso. Keily served with Keogh in the Papal Army in 1860 and they were recruited into the Union Army together as captains.
Keogh cabinet card with some scattered spotting, some toning. CDV matted, with cover glass and mat preserver. Even toning to CDV, with some soiling on versoCondition
