]]}} Mason Carter (January 26, 1834-December 11, 1909) was a US Army officer who served in the American Civil War and the Indian Wars during the late 19th century. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in the Battle of Bear Paw fought on January 8, 1877. His grandfather was Thomas Flournoy, an American general during the War of 1812. [edit] BiographyBorn to John Carter and Martha Flournoy in Augusta, Georgia, he went to sea at the age of 14 enlisting in the US Navy as an acting midshipman. During the next eight years, he attended the Annapolis Naval Academy while on active duty in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. Failing the final exams three times, he was unable to graduate from the acadamy and eventually resigned in 1857. In 1860, he enlisted in the 1st U.S. Infantry under the name Mason Howard and was sent to the Indian Territory and participated in operations against the Commanche until the start of the American Civil War when the Union withdrew its forces to Kansas. Serving under General Nathaniel Lyon, Mason was later wounded at Battle of Wilson's Creek on August 10, 1861. He began using his real name the following year and served as a first lieutenant with the 1st Missouri State Militia Cavalry for a brief time before accepting a commission as a second lieutenant in the 5th U.S. Infantry on May 12, 1862. He would eventually become a first lieutenant in 1864. He was breveted for his actions against "hostile Indians" between Fort Hays and Fort Harker on October 18, 1867. During the Black Hawk War, he would be involved in skirmishes against Sitting Bull in 1876 and Crazy Horse in June 1877. On September 30, while commanding a company during Battle of Bear Paw, he successfully led a charge under heavy fire "dislodging the enemy and causing the Indians considerable losses" despite losing nearly one-third of his command within a half hour. For his actions during the battle, Clark was awarded a brevet and the Congressional Medal of Honor. Winning promotion to captain on September 4, 1878, Butler remained at that rank until his retirement on January 26, 1898 and became a major on the retired list in 1904. After his retirement, he became professor of military science and taught at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee for ten years before moving to California where he died in San Diego and buried at the Fort Rosecrans Military Reservation on December 11, 1909. He was the first recipient of Medal of Honor to be interned at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. [edit] Further reading

Infobox Military Person
]]}} Robert Goldthwaite Carter (October 29, 1845-January 4, 1936) was a US Cavalry officer who participated in the American Civil War and the Indian Wars, most notably against the Commanche during which he received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role against a Commanche raiding party at Brazos River in Texas on October 10, 1877. He became a successful author in his later years writing several books based on his military career, including On the Border with Mackenzie (1935), as well as a series of booklets detailing his years as an Indian fighter on the Texas frontier. Only 100 of these were published for private distribution and are considered extremely rare surviving only in selected excerpts included in On the Border with Mackenzie. [edit] BiographyBorn in Bridgton, Maine, Carter moved to Portland with his family in 1847, and again in 1857, to Massachusetts. He was preparing to enter Phillips Academy when Carter enlisted as a private in the 22nd Massachusetts Infantry at the start of the American Civil War and remained with the Army of the Potomac from August 5, 1862 until October 4, 1864. During the war, he took part in the Battle of Antietam, Gettysburg, the Wilderness and the Siege of Petersburg as well as other minor engagements. In July 1865, he began attending West Point and was eventually commissioned a second lieutenant and assigned to the 4th U.S. Cavalry on June 15, 1870. During the next several years, Carter would participate in a number of expeditions against the Commanche and other tribes in the Texas-area. It was during one of these campaigns that he was brevetted first lieutenant and awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his "most distinguished gallantry" against the Commanche on the upper Brazos River on October 10, 1871. Carter would suffer a severe injury during the battle, his left leg being shattered as his horse fell against a rock, which would eventually result in his early retirement. He would officially receive the medal on January 23, 1900. His official citation reads, {{cquote|Held the left of the line with a few men during the charge of a large body of Indians, after the right of the line had retreated, and by delivering a rapid fire succeeded in checking the enemy until other troops came to the rescue.}} Returning to active duty, he joined Colonel Ranald Mackenzie in several campaigns including against the Kickapoo of northern Mexico in May 1873 and awarded a brevet to captain. He did win promotion to first lieutenant on February 21, 1875 although his leg injury disqualified him from active field duty and forced him to retire on June 28, 1876. Although he eventually recovered from his leg injury after proper treatment, his requests to return were denied by the US Army. He taught school and later headed the Washington-bureau of the Public Service Publishing Company in New York City. He would also write a number of booklets and books including Four Brothers in Blue (1913) and The Old Sergeant's Story (1926). However, the most successful was his memoir On the Border With Mackenzie (1935) which was published as the age of 90. He died at Washington, D.C. on January 4, 1936 and buried in Arlington National Cemetery. [edit] Bibliography

Infobox Military Person
]]}} William Harding Carter (November 19, 1851-May 24, 1925) was a US Cavalry officer who served during the American Civil War, Spanish-American War and World War I. Largely responsible for the modernization and organization of the US Army during the early 20th century, he and Secretary of War Elihu Root are credited with the creation of the U.S. Army War College and helped pass the General Staff Act of 1903 through Congress, replacing the office of commanding general with a chief of staff and a more efficient reorganizion of military staff structure. He was also an active supporter of the Militia Act of 1903 which proposed to replace the obsolete state militia system with the National Guard Bureau. He was also took part in the Indian Wars seeing extensive service against the Apache in Arizona being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor against the Apache during the Cibecue campaign on August 30, 1881. A later historian and military biographer, Carter wrote several books including From Yorktown to Santiago with the 6th Cavalry (1900), Old Army Sketches (1906) and The Life of Lieutenant General Chaffee (1917) as well as a number articles and academic papers for professional and learned journals. [edit] BiographyBorn in Nashville, Tennessee, he received both public and private schooling as a child and later attended the Kentucky Military Institute in Frankfort, Kentucky and acted as a mounted messenger during the American Civil War. Accepted into West Point, Carter graduated with a commission as a second lieutenant on June 13, 1873. He was assigned to the 8th U.S. Infantry at Fort D.A. Russell, Wyoming and was later on escort duty at Fort Fetterman and Fort Laramie. In February 1874, he participated in expeditions against the Cheyenne, Brulé and Oglala Sioux. During the summer, he followed his company passing through California to the Arizona Territory and stationed at Fort McDowell. While there, he transferred to the 6th U.S. Cavalry on November 28 and later reassigned to the 5th U.S. Cavalry at Fort Verde where he remained until May 1875. Carter served in various posts throughout the territory as an army scout and was occasionally involved in a number of minor skirmishes with local tribes. From April to July 1876, he was involved in the removal of the Chiricahua Apache from their reservation in southeastern Arizona to the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. He also oversaw the construction of the first telegraph line from Fort Grant to Fort Apache later that year. After a year of scouting in the Arizona and New Mexico territories as well as Sonora, Mexico during early 1878, Carter won promotion to first lieutenant on April 14, 1879 and took part in the final stages of the campaign against Vittorio from June to October 1880. The following summer, he took part in the Cibecue campaign as an adjutant under Carr and was awarded the Medal of Honor ""for distinguished bravery in action against the Apache Indians" when he and two others rescued wounded soldiers under heavy fire at Cibecue, Arizona on August 30, 1881. During the next several years, he would rise to high position being promoted to captain on November 20, 1889; major on January 29, 1897; lieutenant colonel on May 8, 1898; colonel on April 15, 1902; brigadier general on July 15, 1902 and finally to major general in 1909. In the years prior to the First World War, Carter was extensively involved in the technical details of organization of the US Army. In 1913, he later commanded the 2nd U.S. Division and was head of the Hawaiian Department before his retirement on November 19, 1915. Following the United States entry into the war, he was recalled to duty and appointed commander of the Central Department of Chicago from August 1917 to February 1918 and was later awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. Suffering from serious respiratory problems in his later years, likely related to heart disease, he died at his home in Washington, D.C. on May 24, 1925 and later buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
