With so much written about the actual battle at the Little Bighorn
on June 25, 1876, Roger L. Williams has now compiled a wealth of
data concerning the men of the 7th Cavalry at the time of the
engagement. "Military Register of Custer's Last Command" presents
for the first time the complete military history of every enlisted
man on the regimental rolls, with particular attention devoted to
the well-known campaigns from the Washita to Wounded Knee.
Williams has culled a vast amount of primary-source material,
much of it never before published, to shed new light on Custer's
forces and provide previously unknown names for several troopers.
As a reference for future historians, the book includes for the
first time the 400-plus pension-file and personal-file numbers for
Custer's troops. The volume also offers new information on Custer
himself and on the civilian mule-packers and American Indian scouts
who accompanied the expedition.
As the first in-depth analysis of the statistics related to the
battle, "Military Register of Custer's Last Command" is the most
extensive work available on the 7th Cavalry. With its exhaustive
bibliography, it will stand as a definitive resource for historians
and enthusiasts and a tribute to all enlisted soldiers on the
western frontier.
