Legacy transcription retained without substantive editing; rendered current reference profile variants documented in the Phase 10 evidence snapshot.

The current historical action-place wording replaces only the controlled canonical geocoder field; the complete inherited place remains preserved. The current authoritative text reads “Bravery in rescuing Lt. Charles King, 5th U.S. Cavalry, from Indians.” while the inherited citation reads “Bravery in rescuing Lt. King, 5th U.S. Cavalry, from Indians.”; both renderings remain independently preserved without replacing the legacy citation.
