"General Custer's Crow Indian scout, the only person who escaped from the Custer fight. Curley was of the Crow Indian tribe. He made for the timber and headed for the Big Horn river where he joined General Terry and informed him that General Custer and his soldiers had all been killed by the Sioux. Curley didn't wait to see the finish of that battle which lasted about 35 minutes. Curley simply guessed the result which he reported to General Terry. Seeing the thousands of Sioux Indians, he decided what the result would be and never stopped to see that awful slaughter. "On the tenth anniversary, June 25, 1886, Chief Gall at the Battle Field told Curley, "if he had not sneaked away, he would not be there today." "Curley died afew years ago at the Crow Agency in Montana." - Notation on photograph in the Burdick Collectioin of Barry photographs.
