Album Info:
Maj. Joel Elliott ~ A dedicated, zealous officer, Elliott was Custer's second in command. His command discovered the Indian trail on November 26 that led the U.S. 7th Cavalry to Black Kettle's camp. He entered the village with Custer, then led a small detachment downstream in pursuit of fleeing Indians, where he and his command were cut off and killed. Custer's return to Camp Supply without determining the fate of Elliott and his men angered many fellow officers. The bodies of Elliott and the 17 soldiers who accompanied him were recovered from the battlefield two weeks later on December 11, 1868.
