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. I thnak you for your help where any of the 7th Cavalry at the Little Big Horn actually English.

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.

Do we have any records of their names and what happened to them? My grand father was born in 1873 in the Oklahoma territory and was around 3 years old when Custer's Last Stand occurred. He married my grand mother who was 20 years his junior later in his life and he never talked about his earlier life. He lost an eye when he was working as a logger and lived to be 99 just shy of 100 in 1973. His span of history had to include some parallel's to this time frame but he never offered a clue as to what it was like back then!
