Last time I added a page for Henry "Harry" Krusee, a 7th trooper who was on detached service at the time of the Little Big Horn battle. Krusee died in Hot Springs, South Dakota in 1925 and is buried in the National Cemetery there. In this update I am adding an obituary for him from the June 11, 1925 issue of the Hot Springs Star.
This website is dedicated to the 7th Cavalry troopers who are buried in South Dakota. From the tragic death of Abram Brant only hours before he was to receive his Medal of Honor to the murder of Elijah Strode, the lives of these 7th Cavalrymen is anything but boring. Together, their lives span from before the Civil War, through Wounded Knee and up to the 1950s. Even though their lives didn't grab the headlines like General Custer, their stories are worth exploring, even more so in my opinion.

New 7th Cavalry Trooper Added
I'm excited for this update. I have a new 7th Cavalry trooper to add to the website. I don't know why it's taken so long and I'm not going to make any excuses. So, finally, Henry "Harry" Krusee is a part of this website.
I will be adding more information (photos, articles, obituaries, etc.) to Krusee's page as we move along. Here are a few "get to know him" details...
He was born in New York on October 5, 1840. He was on detached service at the time of the Little Big Horn battle so did not participate in that action.
He was discharged 30 November 1885 at Fort Meade by expiration of service as a private of excellent character. He died on June 3, 1925, at Hot Springs, South Dakota, and is buried in the National Cemetery in Hot Springs.
