United States Army Brigadier General. Fought with the 3rd United States Cavalry in the Civil War, and commanded troops in the wars against Western Indians (most notably at the Battle of Slim Buttes on September 9, 1878). He invented a woven cartridge belt, which allowed cavalry troops to carry ammunition with them into battle. He published his memoirs "My Story" in 1918. The work is now highly regarded as a primary source of information about the Indian Wars.
