Sergeant Daniel Kanipe was a United States Army soldier who served in the 7th Cavalry Regiment during the Battle of Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876. He was a member of Company C and played a significant role in the battle. Kanipe was one of the few survivors of the battle and was known for his bravery and eyewitness account of the events. He was also a key witness during the Court of Inquiry into the battle, providing valuable testimony about the actions of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and the 7th Cavalry. After the battle, Kanipe continued to serve in the Army and later wrote about his experiences at Little Bighorn. His account, The Kanipe Story, is considered an important historical resource for understanding the battle. Sergeant Daniel Kanipe's actions during the Battle of Little Bighorn demonstrate his courage and dedication to duty, making him a notable figure in American military history. • On MAY 17 1876, we were sent out on what would turn out to be a most unfortunate expedition. We set off toward the Yellowstone River. We marched twelve miles to the Big Heart River and made our camp there. We stayed for a while, looking around at our surroundings. By about June 10, we moved on up to the Powder River. Six companies out of the twelve were sent out on a scouting mission. Leaving the wagon train at the Powder River, we took ten days' rations on pack mules and traveled up the Powder River for two days. Then we turned toward the Tongue River, and it was along the Rosebud River that we discovered the Indian trail. As the sun began to set, we prepared a little coffee, then marched along the trail all night long. In the morning, we made more coffee and set out up the trail once again, marching until noon. General Reno, who was in command of this detachment, noticed that our ten-day rations were running low, so we turned back down the Rosebud River. At the junction of the Rosebud and the Yellowstone, we met the other six companies of the regiment, led by General Custer. General Terry, the commander of the department, was present. General Custer was under arrest. It was said that this was due to his attitude against the post traders who had been given concessions at the various posts, which had been taken away after scandals regarding posttraderships during President Grant's administration. Those traders had arranged things so that one could not buy anything at the posts without getting it from them. A glass of liquor cost twenty-five cents, and the servings were mostly just a little bit—very little whisky. Custer had set a maximum price, which led to his arrest. However, many high-ranking army officers were with him, and he was given a command at the place I mentioned. • ———————————————————————————————————————————————— • More Videos To Enjoy In One Sitting 🌴 • 🦅 Native American History • • NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY • 💪 Native American Survival Skills • • NATIVE AMERICAN FORGOTTEN SKILLS • 👩🏽 Native American Women History • • NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN HISTORY • ⛩️ Asian American Women History • • ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN HISTORY • 💀 Dark History • • EARTHS DARK HISTORY • 🀄️ Asian Medieval History • • ASIAN MEDIEVAL HISTORY • 🎩 Old West • • OLD WEST • Thank you for tuning in to our videos!
