Lt John Sturgis  

Did You Know?
Colonel Sturgis had four hundred men at his disposal during the Canyon Creek Battle, yet never committed more than half of them during the battle itself. Some thought his extreme caution was the result of his son being killed with Custer at the Battle of the Little Big Horn just the preceding year.
