I think the case of Comanche is more of a footnote deal..... Once I had told S-2, the reponse was, "Oh the horse from the movie..." It wasn't that they didn't know, it was the fact that he wasn't a Disney creation that sort of confused them... For most people, the Litte Big Horn is a battle, and the name Custer comes to the front, not a horse. Most history texts don't even mention Comanche, much less say anything about him.
SW, I am glad to hear that your daughter is following in her father's footsteps, as you seem to have a sound understanding and appreciation of history and have already taught me a thing or two since I've been following this thread. Keep up the outstanding work!
