DELMARVA MEN WHO RODE WITH CUSTER AT THE BATTLE OF LITTLE BIG HORN

 

The Battle of the Little Big Horn or as it is sometime called Custer’s Last Stand happened on June 25th 1876. There has been so much written about it, it is hard to tell fact from fiction, but what we do know is out of a force of over 600 7th Cavalry men; 268 men died and 55 were injured. Of the men who died one was from Delaware, and of the men that survived one was from Dorchester County, Maryland.

George Morris enlisted for five years at Philadelphia, Pa on the 26th of October 1872. He signed a paper saying he was 21 years of age and by occupation a Carriage-maker. He stated he was born in Georgetown, Delaware. Captain S. M. Whiteside of the 6th Cavalry swore that he minutely inspected George Morris and he was sober at that time of enlistment and appear to be of lawful age and he had Brown eyes, Brown hair, fair complexion and was 5 feet 5 ¾ inches high. J. M. Neill, Assistant Army Surgeon, swore he examined George Morris and he was free of all bodily defects and mental infirmity. Unknown to Captain Whiteside and Assistant Army Surgeon Neill was George Morris was really a man named Eugene Cooper.

Eugene Cooper entered military service under an alias, George Morris. We do not know the reason why. The first thought that comes to mind is he was wanted by the law for some reason but in 1872 there was a great depression going on. It was referred to as the “great depression” until 1930 when even a worst depression took place and the name was changed to the “Panic of 1873.” So either down on his luck or hunted by the law Eugene Cooper did what a lot of young men did—he enlisted. Joining the U.S. Army in 1872 was an admission of economic incompetence if you were a native-born American, as Eugene Cooper was, and a lot of young men signed up under assumed names.

If Private Morris (Cooper) followed the path of other 7th Cavalry Company “I” troopers he would have been sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio for training and then to Shebyville, Kentucky and in 1873 transferred to Fort Totten, Dakota Territory (DT). In 1874 Company “I” of the 7th Cavalry moved from Fort Totten to Fort Abraham Lincoln.

He must have had ability and intelligence as four years after enlisting he was a Corporal. So on a hot Sunday on June 25th 1876, Corporal Morris was riding with “I” Company, commanded by Captain Myles Keogh, an Irishman who was born in County Carlow and who had fought in the American Civil War. The fighting took place along what is called Calhoun Hill, Keogh Ridge and Custer Hill, an area about a kilometer in distance. Most of Company “I” died on what is called Keogh Ridge with Captain Keogh. The spot where Captain Keogh and his men fell was a slight depression in the ground. The men were found around this depression indicating they had used it as a defensive position. This was a rapid battle that was over within an hour. We do not know where Corporal Morris (Cooper) died as when positions became overrun the surviving trooper would try to run toward the nucleus of troopers around Lt. Colonel Custer on “Custer Last Stand” Hill. Three days later when the surviving members of the 7th cavalry found them, the bodies were too mutilated, stripped of clothing that may have contained personal identification items, and had spent three days in the hot sun. Most were not identified.

 

Eugene T. Cooper was born July 4, 1851 in Georgetown Delaware. His parents were Benjamin Brady Cooper (1828 -1888) and Hannah Sherwood (1829-1914 ) . Benjamin and Hannah married on August 6, 1850. In addition to Eugene they would have a second son, Thomas O. Cooper (1854 - 1925). Benjamin was a wheelwright and the family moved frequently. Eugene being born in Georgetown may have represented the farthest southern movement of the family. They lived mostly in Kent and New castle family. Both Benjamin and Hannah are connected with the Coopers, Sherwoods, Broadways and Lowbers from Petersburg, Murderkill Hundreds, Kent County, Delaware. They are classic Delmarva families that intermarry frequently. Those families came from around Easton and Denton Maryland and moved to Delaware when Lord Baltimore started to tax non-Catholics at a little higher rate plus used other forms of bias against them. From the census records Benjamin and Hannah always had lodgers and servants in their homes. Frequently the lodgers were relatives from both sides of their families.

 

Benjamin B. Cooper would die of a heart attack at age 60 on March 3, 1888. After her husband’s death Hannah, applied for a pension under George Morris (Eugene Cooper) federal service.

In 1892 Hannah Cooper would begin receiving twelve dollars a month as a pension.

Hannah Cooper was found dead in bed on December 21, 1914. The medical doctor said she was asphyxiated.

 

Thomas O. Cooper, the second son, lived in Wilmington and had a varying career of photographer, dance master, music teacher and finally Doctor. He served as a Democratic Delaware State representative from 1904 to 1913 during which time he was speaker of the house from 1909 to 1910. He remained a bachelor throughout his life and he died in Wilmington September 7, 1925. His will was probated September 7, 1926. He left his belongings to servants and relatives on the Sherwood side of the family. He was buried with his family at Wilmington and Brandywine cemetery.

 

Benjamin Brady Cooper, father of Eugene Cooper, was the son of Richard Cooper (1795 -?) and Mary Brady. Richard Cooper was the son of Thomas Cooper (1765-1806) and Catherine Lowber (1765-1852). In the 1850 census Richard is a farmer in Murderkill Hundreds, Kent County. He is listed as insane. His wife, Mary Brady, born February 25, 1798, was one of eight children of Benjamin Brady (1760-1839) and Elizabeth Broadway . Benjamin Brady was a Justice of the Peace and one of the founders of Whatcoat Chapel in Camden Delaware. Mary Brady Cooper died October 16, 1859 and is buried at Whatcoat Methodist Church.

 

Thomas Cooper (1765-1860), father of Richard Cooper, born in Caroline County, Maryland, was the son of Richard Cooper, Sr and Ann Broadway. Thomas and Catherine Lowber would have seven known children; Catherine, Jeremiah, Mary, Peter, Richard, Sarah Ann, and Ezekiel. Thomas was a Superior Court Judge and President of Farmers Bank in Georgetown, Delaware.

 

Richard Cooper, Sr. (1726 – 1773) was the husband of Ann Broadway (1727-1794) and the son of John Cooper and Deborah Smith. Born in Talbot County Maryland he moved to Kent County, Delaware. He was in the French and Indian wars.

 

John Cooper (1681 – 1763) born in Nottinghamshire England, died in Queen Anne County Maryland. Married Deborah Smith (1694- bef 1739). Deborah was the daughter of Captain John Smith from Ulster, Ireland and Agnes Lowber (loper) from Amsterdam, Holland.

  

Our second man from Delmarva with the 7th Cavalry at little Big Horn was Hugh N. Moore from Dorchester County. Private Moore was with “M” Company lead by Captain Thomas French and assigned to the command of Major Reno. Major Reno led the initial attack on the south end of the Indian Village at Little Big Horn and was beaten back to what is today called “Reno Hill.” In the process of retreating he lost 40% of his men. Captain Benteen returned with his three companies of men and a little later the Pack Train arrived on Reno hill. Major Reno had at that time about 350 men. The Indians surrounded them and they were under attack for June 25th, and June 26th, on June 27th. Company “M” was assigned to defend the perimeter of the hill facing the river.

 

Hugh Moore enlisted in 1872 August 24th in Louisville Kentucky at the age of 29. We do not know what took him from Baltimore, where in the 1860 and 1870 census he was a sailmaker, to Louisville but we do know, generally, what Hugh Moore looked liked from his enlistment and re-enlistment papers. He was white, eyes; gray, complexion; fair, hair; brown, (by his fourth re-enlistment the hair color would be described as gray), and his height was 5’ 7 ½ inches. At the time he joined the cavalry the requirement was the men could be no taller than 5’10” nor shorter than 5’5” with a maximum weight of 165 pounds. This was to allow the horse not to tire too soon as in addition to the weight of the trooper there was another 50 pounds of equipment to be carried on horseback. There were, of course, exceptions to this rule of height and weight.

 

Private Moore would be assigned to the 7th cavalry “M” company at Fort Lincoln Dakota Territory (DT). “M” company was commanded by Captain Thomas French, who was born in Baltimore. In addition to Captain French serving in the 7th cavalry at this time were 11 other troopers who had been born in Baltimore, so Hugh Moore may have had common experiences with them in Baltimore. Company “M” had 57 men of which 12 would die at Little Big Horn and another 10 would be wounded.

 

After the little Big Horn battle “M” company was rotated among various forts in the west from Fort Abraham Lincoln, Fort Buford, Fort Keogh, Fort Leavenworth, Fort Meade Fort Totten and Fort Riley. We know from his re-enlistment papers and census records. Hugh Moore was at Fort Meade, Lawrence, Dakota Territory, Fort Sill Lawton Indian Territory, Camp Lower Geyser Basin MT, and Yellowstone Park.

 

A couple of weeks after the Battle of Little Big Horn, Moore was promoted to Corporal and in December 1876 he was promoted to Sergeant. In April, 1879 he was reduced to Private, appointed to Corporal again in 1881, promoted again to Sergeant in October 1881, reduced to Private in December 1881 he would go thru this promotion/reduction in rank cycle until 1887 when he would remain a private. Perhaps his health record or sick call record reflects the reason why this occurred. Among the medical problems for Moore are; incised wound 1873, Sprain Knee 1877, Contusion 1879, acute diarrhea 1882, inebriation 1882, intercostal rheumatism 1885, inebriation 1887, boils on buttocks 1889, and from 1887 to 1889 numerous alcohol related problems. By 1889 he was consider a chronic alcoholic. Perhaps this alcohol problem was the reason for his transfer in 1887 from his original “M” Company to “K” company and later in the year to “F” Company.

 

Hugh Moore was discharged from Military Service due to an oblique inguinal hernia on the right side and chronic alcoholism on August 10th, 1889 at Ft Sill, Indian Territory. As Blain Taylor, Asst Surgeon, described his condition “his constitution is completely shattered from excessive use of alcoholic stimulants”. Shortly after that he was a resident of the Old Soldier Home in Washington D.C. He applied for an invalid pension in 1890 and was turned down as his problems were not service related. He would die at the Old Soldier’s Home on September 3rd, 1900 at age 58. He was buried in the Military Asylum Cemetery 21 Harewood Road N.W. Washington DC in Section K Grave #6825.

 

Hugh N. Moore parents were Nield (Neild) Moore (1810-1859)and Elizabeth Keene (1814- )of Church Creek, Dorchester County Maryland. In the 1850 census Hugh had an older sister, Melvina (b1837), a younger brother Henry W. (b 1844) and a younger sister Sarah Jane (b 1848). Nield Moore was a slave owner and is shown in the Maryland Slave Schedule for 1850. In 1859 Hugh Moore’s father, Nield Moore, died and Hugh Moore in the 1860 census is shown as an apprentice sailmaker in Baltimore living with the Washington Tall family. Since Tall is also a Dorchester county name that person may be a relative. His sister Melvina in 1860 is living with Hugh Nield (Neild) age 69, and family. Hugh Nield would act as Sureties for the settling of Neild Moore estate. Later in 1860 Hugh Nield would die.

Character’s History:

Lleryt’s desire to become a necromancer wasn’t spawned out of a traumatic, horrific incident, nor was it birthed from a great lust for power. In earnest, it was purely a finical and economic reason that he chose to study necromancy. His family wasn’t dirt poor but they barely made ends meet. When he was young, he showed a slight perchance for magic. Nothing spectacular, just a shower of sparks or changing the color of things, which earned a few extra copper or maybe a silver or two on a good day.

 

Anyways, his parents had saved up over the course of 10 years, that when he was 5, they were able to send him away to a small magic college for training. The first year was just to give him the background knowledge of the schools of magic. It was during a class on necromancy that he got struck with a rather interesting idea. Why not enslave the dead have put them to menial work? They can chop trees, sweep, mine for gems. It was all repetition.

 

From then on, he would dedicate himself to being a necromancer much to the dismay and woe of his parents. They couldn’t’ fathom how lucrative it was to use the dead for such jobs. They thought it unholy and wrong. So every time he tried to offer them money he had earned, they turned him away. In time, he was cast out of his home and village for his business. But while he was down on his luck, word had spread via rogues and bards about him. An illegal business syndicate contacted him and offered him employment. They arranged all underhanded dealing in several counties.

 

Their biggest contract ever came up when word reached them about the war at Ulharnoach and the treachery of the dwarves. He was sent out at once and after careful negotiations with Marthos himself, they were award exclusive mining rights to the dwarves’ old mines.

Extract from Cambridge Daily News - Thursday 16th May 1918:

BURWELL

SERGT. CHARLES BROWN.—Mrs. Brown, of Burwell, widow of Mr. John Brown, for many years Inspector to the Newmarket Urban Council has received official information of the death in action of her youngest son, Sergt. Charles Brown, of the Bantam Battalion of the Suffolks. Sergt. Brown was 24 years of age last August. He was for 18 months in the office of the Ocean Company in Cambridge, when joined Barclay’s Bank and served with the utmost satisfaction at their Oundle, Leicester, and Uppingham branches of that bank. When the war broke out volunteered, but was rejected being under the standard height. When he learned that his friend, the late Lieut. Tom Blackwell, had joined the Bantam Battalion of the Suflolks, he immediately applied and was accepted. They came home on leave together, both sergeants. Tom Blackwell went to France, but Brown was given home billets, until he told the authorities that he was tired of “cushy” jobs, and wanted real soldiering. So he was sent out to France. He was in the big German attack March 21st of this year, and wrote home: “It will a huge relief to you to know that I have escaped without scratch.” He was in the midst of the German attack April 8th, and in this he was shot through the head and killed instantly. At any rate, such is the information furnished by the O.C. of his company, but in the carnage and confusion there may be an error of identification. Mrs. Brown has had letters of condolence from the directors and officials of Barclay’s Bank; from Mr. Praed, who has charge of the Leicester and Uppingham Banks; and from the Rev. C. J. N. Child (Headmaster the Cambridge County School), all speaking in high terms of praise of her son.

Note: H.M.S. ''Bulwark'' was a London-class battleship built in Devonport Dockyard, Plymouth in 1902. She was one of five pre-Dreadnought battleships laid down in response to France's turn-of-the-century shipbuilding program. One of the first major units fitted with Marconi wireless telegraph, Bulwark served as flagship of the Mediterranean fleet, based at Malta, from 1902 to 1907. Detailed to the Home Fleet, formed as a counterbalance to Germany's North Sea fleet, Bulwark served as divisional flagship until 1911 when she was transferred to the Fifth Battle Squadron of the reserve fleet. Mobilized and fully manned upon the outbreak of World War I, she was assigned to the Channel Fleet, which comprised nineteen pre-Dreadnought battleships. On 26th November 1914, Bulwark was anchored off Sheerness when at 07:53 the ship was ''rent asunder'' by a massive internal explosion caused by the poor storage of cordite charges, some of which were twelve years old. The ship sank instantly, taking with her a full complement of 781 ranks and ratings.

Necatar of Instruction - Text 6 by His Divine Grace A C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

 

Being situated in his original Kṛṣṇa conscious position, a pure devotee does not identify with the body. Such a devotee should not be seen from a materialistic point of view. Indeed, one should overlook a devotee's having a body born in a low family, a body with a bad complexion, a deformed body, or a diseased or infirm body. According to ordinary vision, such imperfections may seem prominent in the body of a pure devotee, but despite such seeming defects, the body of a pure devotee cannot be polluted. It is exactly like the waters of the Ganges, which sometimes during the rainy season are full of bubbles, foam and mud. The Ganges waters do not become polluted. Those who are advanced in spiritual understanding will bathe in the Ganges without considering the condition of the water.

 

PURPORT

 

Śuddha-bhakti, the activity of the soul proper — in other words, engagement in the transcendental loving service of the Lord — is performed in a liberated condition. In Bhagavad-gītā (14.26) it is stated:

 

māḿ ca yo 'vyabhicāreṇa

 

bhakti-yogena sevate

 

sa guṇān samatītyaitān

 

brahma-bhūyāya kalpate

 

"One who engages in full devotional service, who does not fall down in any circumstance, at once transcends the modes of material nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman."

 

Avyabhicāriṇī bhakti means unalloyed devotion. A person engaged in devotional service must be free from material motives. In this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, one's consciousness must be changed. If consciousness is aimed toward material enjoyment, it is material consciousness, and if it is aimed toward serving Kṛṣṇa, it is Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A surrendered soul serves Kṛṣṇa without material considerations (anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam [Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.11]). Jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam: unalloyed devotional service, which is transcendental to the activities of the body and mind, such as jñāna (mental speculation) and karma (fruitive work), is called pure bhakti-yoga. Bhakti-yoga is the proper activity of the soul, and when one actually engages in unalloyed, uncontaminated devotional service, he is already liberated (sa guṇān samatītyaitān [Bg. 14.26]). Kṛṣṇa's devotee is not subjected to material condition, even though his bodily features may appear materially conditioned. One should therefore not see a pure devotee from a materialistic point of view. Unless one is actually a devotee, he cannot see another devotee perfectly. As explained in the previous verse, there are three types of devotees — kaniṣṭha-adhikārī, madhyama-adhikārī and uttama-adhikārī. The kaniṣṭha-adhikārī cannot distinguish between a devotee and nondevotee. He is simply concerned with worshiping the Deity in the temple. A madhyama-adhikārī, however, can distinguish between the devotee and nondevotee, as well as between the devotee and the Lord. Thus he treats the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the devotee and the nondevotee in different ways.

 

No one should criticize the bodily defects of a pure devotee. If there are such defects, they should be overlooked. What should be taken into account is the spiritual master's main business, which is devotional service, pure service to the Supreme Lord. As stated in Bhagavad-gītā (9.30):

 

api cet sudurācāro

 

bhajate mām ananya-bhāk

 

sādhur eva sa mantavyaḥ

 

samyag vyavasito hi saḥ

 

Even if a devotee sometimes seems to engage in abominable activities, he should be considered a sādhu, a saintly person, because his actual identity is that of one engaged in the loving service of the Lord. In other words, he is not to be considered an ordinary human being.

 

Even though a pure devotee may not be born in a brāhmaṇa or gosvāmī family, if he is engaged in the service of the Lord he should not be neglected. In actuality there cannot be a family of gosvāmīs based on material considerations, caste or heredity. The gosvāmī title is actually the monopoly of the pure devotees; thus we speak of the six Gosvāmīs, headed by Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī. Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī had practically become Mohammedans and had therefore changed their names to Dabira Khāsa and Sākara Mallika, but Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Himself made them gosvāmīs. Therefore the gosvāmī title is not hereditary. The word gosvāmī refers to one who can control his senses, who is master of the senses. A devotee is not controlled by the senses, but is the controller of the senses. Consequently he should be called svāmī or gosvāmī, even though he may not be born in a gosvāmī family.

 

According to this formula, the gosvāmīs who are descendants of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu and Śrī Advaita Prabhu are certainly devotees, but devotees coming from other families should not be discriminated against; indeed, whether the devotees come from a family of previous ācāryas or from an ordinary family, they should be treated equally. One should not think, "Oh, here is an American gosvāmī," and discriminate against him. Nor should one think, "Here is a nityānanda-vaḿśa-gosvāmī." There is an undercurrent of protest against our awarding the title gosvāmī to the American Vaiṣṇavas of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Sometimes people flatly tell the American devotees that their sannyāsa or title of gosvāmī is not bona fide. However, according to the statements of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī in this verse, an American gosvāmī and a gosvāmī in a family of ācāryas are nondifferent.

 

On the other hand, a devotee who has attained the title of gosvāmī but is not born of a brāhmaṇa father or of a gosvāmī in the family of Nityānanda or Advaita Prabhu should not be artificially puffed up by thinking that he has become a gosvāmī. He should always remember that as soon as he becomes materially puffed up, he immediately falls down. This Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is a transcendental science, and there is no room for jealousy. This movement is meant for the paramahaḿsas who are completely free from all jealousy (paramaḿ nirmatsarāṇām). One should not be jealous, whether he is born in a family of gosvāmīs or has the title of gosvāmī awarded to him. As soon as anyone becomes envious, he falls from the platform of paramahaḿsa.

 

If we consider the bodily defects of a Vaiṣṇava, we should understand that we are committing an offense at the lotus feet of the Vaiṣṇava. An offense at the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava is very serious. Indeed, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has described this offense as hātī-mātā, the mad elephant offense. A mad elephant can create a disaster, especially when it enters into a nicely trimmed garden. One should therefore be very careful not to commit any offense against a Vaiṣṇava. Every devotee should be ready to take instructions from a superior Vaiṣṇava, and a superior Vaiṣṇava must be ready to help an inferior Vaiṣṇava in all respects. One is superior or inferior according to his spiritual development in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. One is forbidden to observe the activities of a pure Vaiṣṇava from a material point of view. For the neophyte especially, considering a pure devotee from a material point of view is very injurious. One should therefore avoid observing a pure devotee externally, but should try to see the internal features and understand how he is engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. In this way one can avoid seeing the pure devotee from a material point of view, and thus one can gradually become a purified devotee himself.

 

Those who think that Kṛṣṇa consciousness is limited to a certain section of people, a certain section of devotees or a certain tract of land are generally prone to see the external features of the devotee. Such neophytes, unable to appreciate the exalted service of the advanced devotee, try to bring the mahā-bhāgavata to their platform. We experience such difficulty in propagating this Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. Unfortunately we are surrounded by neophyte Godbrothers who do not appreciate the extraordinary activities of spreading Kṛṣṇa consciousness all over the world. They simply try to bring us to their platform, and they try to criticize us in every respect. We very much regret their naive activities and poor fund of knowledge. An empowered person who is actually engaged in the confidential service of the Lord should not be treated as an ordinary human being, for it is stated that unless one is empowered by Kṛṣṇa, one cannot spread the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement all over the world.

 

When one thus criticizes a pure devotee, he commits an offense (vaiṣṇava-aparādha) that is very obstructive and dangerous for those who desire to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. A person cannot derive any spiritual benefit when he offends the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava. Everyone should therefore be very careful not to be jealous of an empowered Vaiṣṇava, or a śuddha-vaiṣṇava. It is also an offense to consider an empowered Vaiṣṇava an object of disciplinary action. It is offensive to try to give him advice or to correct him. One can distinguish between a neophyte Vaiṣṇava and an advanced Vaiṣṇava by their activities. The advanced Vaiṣṇava is always situated as the spiritual master, and the neophyte is always considered his disciple. The spiritual master must not be subjected to the advice of a disciple, nor should a spiritual master be obliged to take instructions from those who are not his disciples. This is the sum and substance of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī's advice in the sixth verse.

www.drguida.com/skin/laser-skin-resurfacing/

Time, gravity and excess sun exposure can cause deepening of facial lines and uneven pigmentation. This gives an older, tired look to an otherwise youthful complexion. Laser skin resurfacing can reduce, and often remove, much of this damage to the skin and literally "turn back the clock". A tired looking, sun damaged face can obtain an entirely new, fresh look with healthy, glowing smooth skin. This is the goal of laser resurfacing.

There are different levels of laser resurfacing available, depending on the patient's condition, the level of "down time" or recovery period a patient can tolerate, and cost.
