The 7th Cav was a grunt unit (Airmobile Infantry, a fancy name for helicopter transported infantrymen).

Lieutenant Colonel (Brevet Major General of Volunteers) George Armstrong Custer was the commanding officer of the Custer Battalion of the 7th Cavalry at the time of the Battle of Little Big Horn, and leader of the troops killed there with him on "last Stand Hill".
I believe the burning of Oxford, MS occurred at the same time of General Forrest's Memphis Raid on August 21, 1864. General Chalmers' forces was used as a distraction while General Forrest made his raid into Memphis. General Chalmers had to pull back which allowed the Union cavalry to capture and destroy much of Oxford.I don't know if the 7th Kansas Cavalry was involved in the attack on Oxford.The 7th Kansas Cavalry returned to Leavenworth, Kansas, in Jan & Feb 1864 to recruit replacements for soldiers who had served their time in the Army. William F. Cody, who later became known as "Buffalo Bill Cody", enlisted with the 7th Kansas Cavalry. The 7 Kansas Cavalry returned to the Memphis area for patrols along the Memphis & Charleston RR and conduct raids into northern Mississippi. So it is possible that Cody was in Oxford.
Yes. He served in the Civil War with the 7th Kansas Cavalry.The 7th Kansas Cavalry served in Tennessee and Northern Mississippi to protect the railroad from Corinth to Memphis. Late in 1863, many of the men's enlistment was expiring so the regiment needed to recruit more men. They returned to Leavenworth, Kansas where Bill Cody was spending his time gambling. He enlisted and the 7th Kansas Cavalry returned to West Tennessee.
