The Annual Plea For Help.

[Roger Kettle]

Okay, guys, it's my Custer quiz time again. Because of a mailing problem, I've had even less time to complete it this year and I'm really struggling. Of the twenty questions, I have, so far, completed only eight of them. I've obviously tried to google the following questions but maybe you guys can approach them from a different angle.
What was the name of the horse Custer had shot out from under him on August 11th, 1873 at the Yellowstone fight? (not Dandy!).
Name the 7th Cavalryman (a Little Bighorn survivor) who later guarded Charles Guiteau, the assassin of President James Garfield?
Who was Dan Tucker? (I've looked at this and can find nothing connected to Custer).
Name the Little Bighorn survivor, a Medal of Honor recipient, who later worked for Lieut. Francis Gibson in the New York City Street Department.
What was a "blolahunkal"?
What did former Battlefield ranger Marin Dawes claim to have seen behind the present day Custer Battlefield Trading Post?
Thanks to anyone who makes time to even bother about this!

I'm working on the blolahunka one...

Facebook to the rescue:
What is a blolahunkal (Think Custer/Battle of the Little Big Horn)? Any smarty pants out there who can help my friend win a competition for history buffs.

Some of my friends are pretty smart.

So far, I've only managed this:

Chief Ranger Marvin Dawes took these eerily striking photographs of Custer Battlefield on the morning of April 8, 2008. We witness monuments and memorials struggling to be seen through the fine mist.

Was the horsie called "Vic"?

"He rode his horse - Vic - into battle at the LBH. Vic was either killed or was a POW." http://www.mohicanpress.com/wwwboard1/messages/416.html

I don't think so. The horse was shot from under Custer in a battle 2 - 3 years before LBH.

Geez - I'm so glad I resisted posting loads of silly answers now. You lot are...are...amazing!

[The Peepmaster]

Wouldn't it be funny if the horse had been called M1NCE? or INVINCIBLE?

"M1NCE"? Would that be its registration plate, or what?

[The Peepmaster]

That was a typo. YOU try spelling it correctly on here now - it's impossible! Gremlins I tell you.

I get as far as minc then it refuses to accept it.

That's brilliant, Vulch! How did you find that?

Wiki - looked up Medal of Honor recipients - 7th Cavalry - 1873 - he was the only one.

I just posted something stupid and I don't know how to remove the post, so here's a pretty picture instead -



Sorry Roger, hope you've got all the answers now.
