Interesting book which details life of the bugler at the Little Bighorn. He was left at an orphanage, was a drummer boy with Garibaldi, served in the US Army for 30 years and ended up as a ticket-taker in the NY subway system. Wow!

The Seventh was ordered not to bring their swords (and sabres) since the troopers were expected to advance quickly. The need to move fast also ruled out Custer bringing any infantry or Gatling guns. Perhaps a trooper did bring along a sword or it belonged to a trooper on Crook's relief column. Finding a sword on the site of the LBH is surprising.

He also survived the Civil War, serving in Company A of the 8th Minnesota regiment. After the Civil War, he remained in the army, and served in the West, and was involved in Indian skirmishes. At the battle of the Little Big Horn, he remained with the main body of troops when Custer took a detachment and went forward to meet the Sioux. Civil war Corporal Robert Hunt's daughter Dora Carolyn Hunt is my grandmother. Dora married Frank Lee, son of Tom Lee. Unfortunately, both Dora and Frank Lee's bodies were dug up by St. Stephen's Catholic Church Calvary Cemetery caretakers and their bodies may have ended up in the Elk River Dump. St. Stephen's Church refuses to answer my request for more info. My great grandfather Tom Lee was a survivor of the Little Big Horn. He

I recently read an article that said there had been at least two officers in the 7th that were originally from England. I would be interested to know if this is true or not, as I am led to believe that the marching song of the 7th Cavalry (Garry Owen) was introduced to the regiment by one of those English officers, who had previoulsy served in the British Army in India where it was used as a marching song by the British Cavalry and Lancers.

Their leaders became christian converts, indian police, both, or died violent deaths at the hands of their friends, indian police. They broke their own hoop and are suffering ever since. The burial ground stolen from Crow Indians by arapahose and shyannes and pirated by these guys, was confiscated as a memory for their stoneage barbarism, and merciless burning to death of the wounded enemy, the likes of which the plains had not seen since the anasazi and aztecs. they robbed and pillaged the Shoshone, Pawnee, Hidatsa, Mandan, Arikara & Crow. They were racist, anti-Americans since 1630 or 1670, on east side of Mississippi. They scalped and hated until sitting bull died---and scalping forever died with him! Hoka hey means "f.. them up the ass", said Frank Always Catches Grouard, brother of sitting bull who brought crazy horse in and was the best scout on the plains, him and Big Bat---they 2 was formidable: George Herendeen.
