Miles City Pioneer Recalls Fort Keogh Tales and Old Miles City
The observer recalls 1877 near Fort Keogh with a drunken guard sergeant confrontation led by First Sergeant Thompson. He notes Thompson’s Civil, Sioux, Spanish-American and World War service and earlier work at Fort Keogh as interpreter. The piece also recounts the MacQueen house era as a cattlemen hub with rapid deals and a 1888 stock sale on Powder River.
