These pages list the personnel of the 7th United States Cavalry, and the associated scouts etc. who were attached to the Regiment in 1876. Not all were at the Battles at the Little BigHorn, but I have endeavored to find all who were in the Regiment at the time.
Those names in Cavalry Yellow were in the Battle(s), those in black were elsewhere, while the Killed in Action(KIA), Wounded in Action(WIA) and those awarded the Medal of Honor(MOH) are indicated.
There are undoubtably errors in this page, and ages are approximate, but for more information on any member of the 7th, you will have to research in detail, remembering, of course, that there were a large number of aliases used by soldiers in this era!
