And
Colonel Myles
Keogh

INSPIRATIONAL COMMENTS:
Tacitus
historian said: "So obscure are
greatest events; as some take for granted any hearsay whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood and both errors are encouraged with posterity.”
"That spiritual power I wear is much more beautiful and much greater. We call it wisdom, knowledge, power and gift or love. There are these four parts to that spiritual power. So I wear those. When you wear that power it will beautify your mind and spirit. You become beautiful. Everything that Tunkashila creates is beautiful." --Wallace Black Elk, LAKOTA
“The law in its majestic equality forbids
rich as well as
poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in
streets and to steal bread.” – Anatole France. In
words of Samuel Johnson, "Patriotism is
last refuge of a scoundrel." "Forty Years ago I fought Custer till all were dead. I was then
enemy of
Whitemen. Now I am
friend and brother, living in peace together under
flag of our country." — Two Moons, Northern Cheyenne "Anyone who is willing to live
life I have led can do
things I do." -Fools Crow
INTRODUCTION:
Why were
Indians armed better than
men under
command of someone who had Presidential aspirations?
After watching a Learning Channel show that proved that point through forensic and archaeological analysis a lot of questions came to my mind in
summer of 2004. I am related to Colonel Myles Keogh and our family history will be a starting point for many considerations not commonly heard or seen about Custer and Keogh. I might even wonder out loud about
assassination of Lincoln and other corruption and intrigues including
founding of
Ku Klux Klan by a rogue Masonic devil worship cult. In fact you will not believe
truth you might see on these pages if you are a person who believes
stuff you read in school or hear on
news most every night. Fox News Corporation’s owner says none of his employees can say anything he doesn’t agree with – should we spell it Faux News? I am not
first person to wonder if Custer was in hot water due to his support of
Indians and his exposure of
cronies who put Grant in office. Here is a little part of a review of a semi-fictional book on Custer which suggests exactly what I am trying to understand and which I hope
readers will see is all too commonplace in our society.
“How could this colorful historical figure have allowed
events that brought his untimely end? Was it only political intrigue? We know President Grant {Meaning or including Martinists that became Skull & Bonesmen and Tammany Hall.} had an unbridled animosity toward Custer because he helped expose
Grant administration’s callous indifference to
plight of
Plains Indians.” (1)
Keogh was a made man in
inner sanctum of power. His importance to General Buford during
Civil War followed on
heels of his Papal commendation after having fought alongside his fellow Irishmen, who he led in Italian wars with
Vatican Army. His grave-tending paramour is none other than
New York Governor’s daughter in a time when Tammany Hall ruled all aspects of politics in America. You will see that a Martin name appears on
marriage certificate of my paternal grandparents. You might think it is a romantic tale as you hear about how she tended his grave until
day she died in Auburn, New York. You might wonder whose daughter it was that she cared for and came to
wedding in Toronto to give away. I cannot say for sure that
child was her grandchild as I start researching this matter in greater detail.
It is possible that she cared for a part Mandan Indian girl that Myles fathered in
many trips he and Custer took among
Indians. It is almost certain that he would have been sexually active because he was known to enjoy
ladies. The child would then have had a child and this Ms. Della Martin would possibly have cared for
child if
parent died or if she was its grandmother. It is also possible that it was
offspring of Keogh’s brother’s children but that does not seem likely due to
grave-tending and other things I discovered. You will have to endure a lot of my explorations and make many of your own if we are to learn all we can about
man and
intrigues that have spawned thousands of books. “Myles probably returned to Ireland in
summer of 1874, as his Aunt Mary had died leaving him Clifden in her will. It is accepted amongst his family in Ireland that he became engaged to Nelly Martin around this time, but no positive proof exists at
moment.” (2)
The Indians had a world of respect for these men who were learning just how corrupt
government handling of them had been. The Mandans are white blooded people from before Columbus and
Sioux have
unique Haplogroup X marker of
Kelts or white Caucasians which modern genetics proves goes back into
earliest times of white people on earth, some 30,000 years ago. Lincoln is probably a Melungeon and they are people who escaped Empire before Columbus’s invasion of paradise as well. Lincoln had a potential Vice Presidential running mate named Ignatius Donnelly who knew a lot about these things as he wrote
best-selling book on Atlantis in his era. There are many undercurrents I could go into great detail about in reference to Lincoln and
whole American Experiment.
It is my perception that Keogh gave his Papal medals to Sitting Bull and not
crap other historians say about Keogh's body being saved from mistreatment (and his horse being
only survivor) because of
protection of some Christian Pope's medals. “Captain Edward Luce does not think that this medal was found on Keogh's body, but Lt. Godfrey - who was present - told artist E. S. Paxson in 1896 that it had not been removed. Trumpeter Martini,
last man to get out, insisted Benteen took
medal. Certain historians provide Keogh with two medals: one around his neck, another in his pocket. This is conceivable because
Pope awarded him, as a mark of special favour,
Cross of
Order of St. Gregory. Whatever
exact truth most scholars agree that he had
Pope's medal, and that it kept his corpse from being abused. But this sounds illogical, as most Catholics in this army would not have been wearing religious emblems.”(3) But in
process of researching this book I found Martinist intrigues that may have included both Sitting Bull and Keogh (if not Custer) which will upset a lot of people. The assassination of Lincoln is part of this and it leads to other books I now must do.
