Abstract:
Daniel Kanipe, born 1853, in McDowell County, enlisted in Troop C, 7th U.S. Cavalry at Lincolnton in 1872. While stationed at Yankton, South Dakota, he was under the command of General George Custer during the pursuit of Sioux and Cheyenne at Little Big Horn. Discovering the vast encampment of Indians, Custer dispatched Sergeant Kanipe with orders for Captains McDougall and Benteen to return at once with their respective companies. Kanipe, avoided the fate of his fellow soldiers and lived to fight in the 1878 campaign against the Northern Cheyennes. Kanipe worked for the U.S. Revenue Department and during World War I, Governor Bickett commissioned him captain of the 19th Company.
