Thomas Mower McDougall (21 May 1845 – 3 July 1909) was an officer in the United States Army, who took part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn but survived because he was not with Custer, but with Major Reno and Captain Benteen. On the day of battle McDougall was assigned to guard the pack train, but the mules were not used to carrying packs and lagged far behind the other 3 detachments under Custer, Reno, and Benteen. After viewing the Indian village, and being surprised by its size, Custer sent two urgent orders to bring up the mules with the ammunition packs, but by the time these reached the pack train the distance between the pack train and Custer made this order difficult if not impossible to comply with, though a debate on this topic remains to this day.
