7th Cavalry Muster Rolls July 13th, 2009
In this section of our website we’re proud to
bring you as much material as we can regarding the people involved,
from both sides, in the Sioux War of 1876. Credit needs to be given to
John Doerner, Chief Historian at Little Bighorn Battlefield
National Monument and volunteers Gary and Joy Gilbert for their diligent research.
Their efforts with
The Touch Screen Project
involved hundreds of hours turning pages in books, reviewing muster
rolls or trading email with helpful people from the Indian community
like Ernie La Pointe (Great grandson of Sitting Bull). Results of
their hard work are the 7th Cavalry soldier and warrior
lists, which is included in a user-friendly computer (kiosk) in the
visitor center of the battlefield. Visitors can find names of those buried in the
National Cemetery, the 7th Cavalry muster rolls and the
warriors who fought in the battle.

The Kiosk Today --
Installed June 4, 2004
We provide the same lists for you here -- just
click on the navigation buttons in the right margin of this page to begin your
search for soldiers and warriors who fought and died at Custer's Last
Stand or the complete registry of the Custer National Cemetery. You might begin this section by reading Gary and
Joy
Gilbert’s background article on the Touch Screen Project behind the
development of the kiosk.
Note: As a
result of the hard work of several individuals, the Friends of the
Little Bighorn Battlefield was first to provide these extensive lists
of participants in the Sioux War of 1876. Our listing will change
from time to time as new and more accurate information becomes
available. Our information is provided directly by the Park
Historian at the Little Bighorn Battlefield, the individual with
access to the best and most recent information, and volunteers
working with him.
In addition, our organization is the only
Custer organization with close contacts inside the Indian
community, which is providing us with the most
up-to-date warrior list.
