John Gale Horton (April 30, 1925 November 5, 1960), known professionally as Johnny Horton, was an American country music singer who was most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which launched the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Horton had two other crossover hits with "North to Alaska," in John Wayne's hit film, North to Alaska; and "Sink the Bismarck". Horton was also a rockabilly singer, and was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Comanche was a mixed Mustang/Morgan horse who survived General George Armstrong Custer's detachment of the United States 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
He was bought by the U.S. Army in 1868 in St. Louis, Missouri and sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Captain Myles Keogh of the 7th Cavalry liked the 15 hand bay gelding and bought him for his own personal mount, to be ridden only in battle. In 1868, while fighting the Comanche in Kansas, the horse was wounded in the hindquarters by an arrow, but continued to let Keogh fight from his back. Thus the horse was named Comanche to honor his bravery. Comanche was wounded many more times, always exhibiting the same toughness.
Comanche died in 1890. He is one of only two horses in United States history to be buried with full military honors, the other being Black Jack.
Lyrics:
The battle was over at custer's last stand
And taps were sounding for all the brave men
While one lone survivor wounded and weak
Comanche the brave horse laied at the general's feet
Comanche you fought hard comanche you tried
You were a good soldier so hold your head up high
For even the greatest sometimes must fall
comanche the brave horse you gave your all
Though you are silent your deeds did speak loud
If your buddies could see you i know they'd be proud
The symbol of bravery at the little big horn
Poor old comanche your battle scarred and worn
Comanche you fought hard comanche you tried
You were a good soldier so hold your head up high
For even the greatest sometimes must fall
Comanche the brave horse you gave your all
Comanche you fought hard comanche you tried
You were a good soldier so hold your head up high
For even the greatest sometimes must fall
Comanche the brave horse you gave your all

or the 26th year in a row, possibly the largest party in Portland on New Year’s eve was held at the Oregon Convention Center, where thousands of American Indians, and their friends, poured in to close out the year in style—without alcohol.
The Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA) of the Northwest threw their New Year’s Eve Sobriety Pow Wow, with more than 4,000 people attending. Bill Graves, writing for The Oregonian, spoke to Jackie Mercer, the chief executive officer of NARA, which provides drug and alcohol treatment, as well as other health care and social services, to American Indians in the Portland area.
“NARA has had a tremendous impact working with the community in creating a clean and sober community, and you can see it and feel it when you come to the powwow,” Mercer told The Oregonian. “If you want to measure the success of NARA, come to the powwow.”
The event, which was free, began in stages, starting at 1 pm and going until midnight. There was pow wow dancing, jewelry, clothing, soap, sage, bitterroot and smoke salmon on sale from vendors, with the constant heartbeat of seven drum circles throughout. The flags during the Grand Entry were presented by members of the Northwest Indian Veterans Association.
Now that’s how you bring in the new year.
