He is buried in Fort Snelling National Cemetery, Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
Perhaps, he is wearing a buffalo hide coat. Whatever it is, it's interesting and probably very warm.
ReplyDeleteI sent an email to Michael at Find a Grave.
ReplyDeleteIs this the month for adorable children photos? Love this one. Wonder if Tired Teacher is right about the buffalo hide coat idea...
ReplyDeleteI mailed this photo to Michael in Pennsylvania yesterday. I found his email at Find A Grave.
