HISTORY OF rIB3 SEVENTH INFANTRY..... (Continued from last week).
In July, 1072, Companies C, 12, 0 and I, under Captain C.C.Rawn, were
sent to protect railroad working parties. On the morning of the 14th, at about
2:45 a.m., while in camp near Pryor*3 Fork of the Yellowstone, they were at
tacked by war-parties of the Sioux and Cheyenne. The Natives were repulsed
and withdraw at 7:30 a.m., carrying off their wounded and killed* The companies
lost two killed and ten wounded.
On the 7th of July, 1875, while Companies 0 oc iC under Captain G.L.
Browning, were at Camp ^ewis, Montana, protecting travellers .and wagon trains,
between fifty end eighty Sioux fired on a fatigue party procuring wood and also
upon a small number of recruits who were fishing in the creek near the fatigue
party. A detaclment of mounted men followed by the companies proceeded at once
to the scene of the attack. Die companies, afoot, could not overtake the Ind
ians, but the mounted detachment overtook thorn 15 miles from camp and after a
sharp skirmish the Natives fled. 'Three unassigned recruits were killed in this
affair, one of whom v/as scalped. Private Navis, Company G, was severely wound
ed in the right hand, while brarely defending himself with his fishing pole, he
being without other weapon.
Harch 17, lG^d, Companies 3, 12, H, and I and II were ordered to con
centrate at Fort Ellis as part of a coiu:sn to operate againt the hostile Sioux *
Indians* brt Ellj s was reached on the 23th of March* Here the command was in-*®
creased by four troops of Cavalry and left Ft* 11115.3 on the 30th under command*
of Col. John Gibbon, 7th Inf., whose erderswere to guard the left bank of the
Yellowstone river and prevent the Indians from enussing. Other columns of
troops were approaching from the south and east. General Custer with the 7th
Cavalry found the Indians first and without waiting for the other columns, at
tacked the Natives June 25th. General Custer and five troops were killed. 'Two
days later, Col. Gibbon* s column arrived on the scene of the battle, having
marched 33 miles on the 26th of June, and rescued the remainder of Gen. Cus
ter* s command, which had taken up an intrenched position.
