: : Hello Rick
: : I have been told that a soldier with Custer was named William Crisfield. The surname Crisfield is not a common one even in the UK. Could you please check in your book - Biographies of the 7th Cavalry - to see if this is correct.
: : I look forward to receiving your reply and thank you for your time.
