Bugler’s Bravery Tied to Fort Phil Kearney Legacy
A Wyoming druggist T J Gatchell preserves Civil War relics in Buffalo wall displays. An 1867 New York Tribune note praised a bugler at Fort Phil Kearney for fighting Indians with his bugle. The story links that bugler to a massacre list and to a later Autobiography by Sheriff Malcolm Campbell.
