This is not a comprehensive index of those who served in the Indian Home Guard, it however, includes more than 4000 names of those who served. This index does not distinguish the Freedmen and/or Indian from any other soldier (although the names highlighted in blue are my ancestors).  The Index list  the names of the soldier, his wife and any other name that appeared on the Pension application.

 Note: Some pages will take a full minute to load for dial-up users.
