United States Army Officer. Original burial site of Lt McIntosh, who was killed at the Battle of the Little Big Horn. McIntosh was part Native American. His father was an agent for the Hudson Bay Company. And his mother, Charlotte, was a descendant of Red Jacket, leader of the Six Nations. When McIntosh was 13, his family moved to Portland, Oregon Territory. His father was killed by Native Americans, when McIntosh was 14. In 1856, he became a clerk with the US Army's Quartermaster Department. Later he transferred to Washington DC as Chief Clerk for Col Daniel Rucker. McIntosh continued in that position throughout the Civil War. In October of 1866, McIntosh married Mary (Mollie) Garrett and accepted a 2nd Lt commission with the 7th US Cavalry. While serving with the 7th, fellow officer and brother-in-law, Lt Gibson, described McIntosh as "one of the most beloved officers" in the regiment. But not everyone in the regiment thought highly of McIntosh. The actual commander of the 7th, Col Samuel Sturgis believed he was a "malingerer". And he started the process of discharging him from the army. LTC George Custer testified on his behalf, and McIntosh remained in the army. He would go onto gain the reputation of being a brave and reliable officer. At the Battle of the Little Big Horn, McIntosh commanded Company G with Maj Marcus Reno's battalion. During the River Valley Fight, McIntosh's orderly, Pvt Rapp was holding his horse, Puff. When Pvt Rapp was shot and killed, their horses stampeded. When their attack turned into a disorganized retreat, Reno and his command headed back towards the Little Big Horn River towards some bluffs on the far side. These bluffs would later be named Reno's Bluffs. Reportedly McIntosh, on foot, was shot and killed near the river crossing. After the battle, McIntosh was buried where he had died. In 1877, an expedition disinterred all known officer burials (except for Lt Crittenden) and returned them to their families or other sites. McIntosh's remains were identified by the shirt his wife had made for him and their unique buttons. Sometime after the Battle of the Little Big Horn, McIntosh's notebook was found in the possession of a Lakota woman. The notebook had a bullet hole through it. In 1993, Custer historian, Glenn Swanson, found McIntosh's wedding ring and one of the unique shirt buttons in the area where he had reportedly been buried. McIntosh's second burial was at Ft Leavenworth KS. On October 28, 1909, he was buried for a third time at Arlington National Cemetery.
