A look at the tragedies that befell both the men and women of Custer's 7th cavalry...

A tremendous thank you to Anita Donofrio for her research on 7th Cavalry families.
She has an outstanding article in the Brian C. Pohanka 33rd Annual Symposium/ Custer Battlefield Historical Museum Assn: "Smithie, We Hardly Knew Ye"-- The Life of Algernon Emory Smith.
She also has an article out in a recent Little Bighorn Associates Research Review about the Yates family.
AND she has a new article coming soon in the 35th Annual Symposium: The Reluctant Widow: Grace Berard Harrington. IT IS AWESOME!
Anita also gives lectures and interviews, and is a frequent guest on Chautauqua Sunrise with Doc Hamels.

For information about the state of the bodies found at the Little Bighorn Battlefield, please read Richard Hardorff's The Custer Battle Casualties I and II.

For biographical details on their lives, Roger William's Military Register of Custer's Last Command is great.

I recommend anything about Custer's Last Stand by Donovan, Leckie, Stiles, Frost, Utley, Graham, Carroll, Liddic, etc.

And Elizabeth Custer's memoirs are fantastic!
