Gallantry in action.
Note: Sgt Schroeter was born on July 4th 1837
He’s very lucky he was U.S. Army ,they may dig him up
According to the “new history”, they need to dig his racist body up and........well, do something with it rather than desecrate sacred ground.
He was among the members of the 1st and 8th Cavalry, under the commands of Lieutenant William H. Winters and Captain Reuben Bernard, who pursued an Apache raiding party led by Cochise that had massacred a stage coach en route to Tucson and attacked a group of cowboys in the Sulphur Springs Valley on October 5, 1868. The cavalry detachment pursued the Apache to Cochise’s stronghold in the Chiricahua Mountains where they did battle on October 20, 1869.
