Comanche was a mixed mustang/morgan horse who survived General George Armstrong Custer's detachment of the United States 7th Calvary at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Comanche was reputed to be the only Survivor of the Little Bighorn, but quite a few Seventh Cavalry mounts survived, probably more than one hundred, and there was even a yellow bulldog. Comanche lived on another fifteen years, and when he died, he was stuffed and to this day remains in a glass case at the University of Kansas. So, protected from moths and souvenir hunters by his humidity-controlled glass case, Comanche stands patiently, enduring generation after generation of undergraduate jokes. The other horses are gone, and the mysterious yellow bulldog is gone, which means that in a sense the legend is true. Comanche alone survived.
Comanche died in 1890. He is one of only two horses in United States history to be buried with full military honors, the other being Black Jack.
