George Crook, soldier, was l)orn, near Daj'ton, 

 Ohio, Sept. 8, 1828. Ho was gnwlnated at the 

 U. S. Military Academy in 1852, and was on 

 duty with the Fourth Infantry in California in 

 1852-1861 . He participated in the Rogue river 

 expedition in 1856, and commanded the Pitt 

 river expedition in 1857, where ho was engaged 

 in several actions, in one of which he was 

 wounded by an arrow. He had risen to a cap- 

 taincy, when, at the beginning of the civil war, 

 he returned to the east and became colonel of 

 the Thirty-sixth Ohio Infantry. He afterward 

 served in the West Virginia campaigns, in 

 command of the Third provisional brigade, 

 from May 1 to Aug. 15, 1862, and was wounded 

 in the action at Lewisburg. He engaged in the 

 northern Virginia and Maryland campaigns in 

 August and September, 1862, and for his 

 services at Antietam was brovetted lieutenant- 

 colonel, TJ. S. Army. He served in Tennessee 

 in 1863, and on .Tuly 1 he was transferred to the 

 command of tin; Second cavalry division. After 

 various actions, ending in the battle of Chick- 

 amauga, he pursued Wheeler's Confederate 

 cavalry from the 1st to the 10th of October, 

 defeatexl it, and drove it across the Tennessee 

 with great loss. He entered upon the conunand 

 of the Kanawha district in western Virginia in 

 February, 1864, made constant raids, and was 

 in numerous actions. He took part in .Sheri- 

 dan's Shenandoah campaign in tlie autiunn of 

 that year and received tlie brevets of brigadier- 

 general and major-general in the U. S. Army, 

 March 13, 1865. Gea. Crook had command of

the cavalry of the Army of the I'otomac from 

 March 26 till April 9, during which time he was 

 engaged at Dinwiddle Court-House, Jetters- 

 ville. Sailor's Creek, and Farmville, till the sur- 

 render at Appomattox. He was afterward 

 transferred to the command of Wilmington, N. 

 C, whore ho remained from Sept. 1, 1865, till 

 Jan. 15, 1866, when he was mustered out of the 

 volunteer service. After a six weeks' leave of 

 absence he was assigned to duty on tlie board 

 appointed to examine rifle tactics, was com- 

 missioned lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty- 

 third infantry, U. S. Army, ou July 28, 1866, and 

 assigned to the district of Boise, Idaho, where 

 he remained until 1872, actively engaged against 

 the Indians. In 1872 Gen. Crook was assigned 

 to the Arizona district to quell the Indian dis- 

 turbances. He sent an ultimatum to the chiefs 

 to return to their reservations or "be wiped 

 from the face of the earth." No attention was 

 paid to his demand, and he .attacked them in 

 the Ton to basin, a stronghold deemed impreg- 

 nable, and enforced submission. In 1875 he 

 was ordered to quell the disturbances in the 

 Sioux find Cheyenne nations in the northwest, 

 and defeated those Indi.ans in the battle ot 

 Powder River, Wyoming. In March another 

 battle resulted in the destruction of 125 lodges, 

 and in June the battle of Tongue River was a, 

 victory for Crook. A few days later the battle 

 of the Rosebud gave him another, when the 

 maddened savages massed their forces and suc- 

 ceeded in crushing Custer. Crook, on receiving 

 reenforcements, struck a severe blow at Slim 

 Buttes, Dakota, and followed it up with such 

 relentless vigor th.at by May, 1877, all the hos- 

 tile tribes in the northwest had yielded. In 

 1882 he returned to Arizona, forced the Mor- 

 mons, squatters, miners, and stock-raisers to 

 va<ate the Indian lands which they had seized. 

 In the spring of 1883 the Chiricahuas began 

 a series of raids. General Crook struck the 

 trail, and, instead of following, took it back- 

 ward, penetrated into and took possession of 

 their strongholds, and, as fast as the warriors 

 returned from their iilimdering excursions, 

 made them prisimers. He marched over 200 

 miles, made 400 prisoners, .and cajjlured all the 

 horses and jilunder. During tlie two years fol- 

 lowing he had sole charge of the Indi.ans, and 

 no deiiredation occurred. [He died in Chicago 

 March 21, 1890.] — Appleton's Cyclop.of Am.Iiiog.
