Hopefully if you are on this page you have visited
our "By-Laws" page prior to this and have decided to enlist with the newly formed Company G. In addition to this, there are a few other links below that will direct you to further information that pertains to the next few pages in this section.
The information on the next 5 pages was taken
from a number of sources and, in my opinion, is quite
accurate as to what the enlisted troopers actually wore
on the 1876 Sioux Campaign. Should you find any
mistakes, please direct them to me at
McIntosh@US7thCavCoF.com, and I will look into the
concerns immediately.
This section, and the entire US7CRR page itself,
was constructed to entertain and namely to help the
aspiring re-enactor to accurately portray this
fascinating time period. With your help, gentlemen,
we can do just that...
