There are some obvious problems with the following, but please help this website visitor identify her ancestor if you can. -- Diane
My great-grandfather was Augustus Newman or Neumann. Family has said he was with Custer at Custer's Last Stand but lived to tell about it as he was bookkeeper/accountant so was left behind in headquarters tent updating the books. I couldn't find his name in 7th Calvary but I think that's what he was part of. Can you help? Thanks.
