Luther Sage 'Yellowstone' Kelly's Henry Rifle

Found this interesting, for me, Henry Rifle.
Captain Luther Sage "Yellowstone" Kelly's Henry Famous Indian Fighter, SN-3598, military range.
Inscribed:  ' Comp.G-10th Infantry-Fort Berthold-1968

I know that Kelly was in Comp.G 10th Infantry, but he was a Private.
That is the second Henry rifle that Kelly owns, SN.6850





Knows anyone more about the Henry rifle, SN 3598?

      How long do you think it would take to go from private to captain in the post war army?  How many Winchesters could a soldier afford?

I think it was impossible for a private to become a captain in the regular army.

Kelly enlisted in March 1865 for three years in 10th Infrantry.
He served as a captain of volunteers in the Philippines.

does anyone have any more info on Kelly's Henry rifle SN-3598?  In his memoirs he always refers to using a carbine.

Sorry, i have no other information about THIS Henry Rifle.

You might find it interesting, if you read my post on page 2 of the topic "Is this a Henry or not"? 

Adios,

I just noticed that the "Yellowstone Kelly carbine" has been taken off of the "rare winchester' site.  As anyone have any info about that?

Well, it (the Kelly rifle) was in a private collection.  Could be an offer was made the feller couldn't refuse???
