On my mothers side the Baileys there was a James Bailey about 15 at the time, that was Captured at Hannible MO while trying to take a barge and taken to Rock Island from what I Know he had been in stuarts red legs when captured and became a galvanized yankee and was assigned to the 7th Cavalry as a mule packer Because he was half cherokee he wasn't allowed to be a mounted trooper From what I've been told he was with Bentein's column when the battle of the Little Big Horn occured I'd like to try to verify this. If you have any information on him or list of sites where I could learn more please forward

Sincerely,
Trinity Hartman
