George Crook, .soldier, was born, near Dayton, 

 Ohio, Sept. 8, 1828. He was graduated 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 he was engaged 

 in several actions, in one of which he was 

 wounded by an arrow. Ho 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-si.xth Ohio Infantry. He afterward 

 served in the West Virginia campaigns, in 

 command of the Third provisional brigade, 

 from May 1 to Aug. 15, 18C2, and was wounded 

 in the action at Lewisburg. He engaged in the 

 northern Virginia and Mai'vland campaigns in 

 August and September, 1802, and for his 

 services at Antietam was brevetted lieutenant- 

 colonel, IT. S. Army. Ho served in Tennessee 

 in 18G;i, and on July 1 he was transferred to the 

 command of the Second cavalry division. After 

 various actions, ending in the battle of Chick- 

 amauga, ho pursued Wheeler's Confederate 

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

 defeated it, and drove it across the Tennessee 

 witli great loss. He entered upon the command 

 of the Kanawha district in western Virginia in 

 February, 1804, made constant raids, and was 

 in numerous actions. Ho took part in Sheri- 

 dan's Shenandoah cami)aign in the autumn of 

 that year and received the brevets of brigadier- 

 general and ma.jor-general in the U. S. Army, 

 March 13, 1805. Geu. Crook had ccnnmaud of

 March 20 till .\pril 9, during whicli time be was 

 engaged at Dinwiddle Court House, Jetters- 

 ville, Saihn-'s (Jreek, and Farnivillc, till the sur- 

 render at Apjiomatlox. He was afterward 

 transferred to the command of Wilmington. X. 

 C, where ho nunained from Sept. 1, 1805. till 

 Jan. 15, 1800, when be was mustered out of the 

 volunteer service. After a six weeks' leave of 

 absence he wa,s assigiu'd to duty on the board 

 ai)pointed to examine rifle tactics, wa.s com- 

 missioned lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty- 

 third infantry. U. S. Army, on July 28, 1806, and 

 assigned to the district of lioise, Idaho, where 

 lie remained until 1872, activi'ly engaged against 

 the Indians. In 1872 (ien. Crook was assigned 

 to the Arizona district to quell the Indian dis- 

 turbances. He .S('nt an ultimatum to the chiefs 

 to return to their reservations or "be wiped 

 from tlic face of the earth." No attention was 

 paid U) his demand, and ho attacked them in 

 the Tonto basin, a stronghold deemed imjireg- 

 uable, and enforced submission. In 1875 he 

 was ordered to ([Uell the disturbances in the 

 Sioux and Cheyenne nations in the northwest, 

 and defeated those Indians in tlie battle ot 

 Powder IMver, W.yoming. In March another 

 battle resulted in the destruction of 125 lodges, 

 and in June the battle of Tongue Kiver was a 

 victory for Crook. A few days later the battle 

 of the Rosebud gave hini another, when the 

 maddened savages massed their forces and suc- 

 ceeded in crushing Custer. Crook, on receiving 

 reeuforcements, struck a severe blow at Slim 

 Buttes, Dakota, and followed it np with such 

 relentless vigor that 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 

 vacate the Indian lands which they had seized. 

 In the spring of 1883 the Cliii'icahuas began 

 a series of i-aids. General Crook struck the 

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

 wai'd, penetrated into and took possession of 

 their strongliolds, and, as fast as the warriors 

 returned from their plundering excursions, 

 made them prisoners. He marched over 200 

 miles, made 400 prisoners, and captured all the 

 horses and plunder. During the two years fol- 

 lowing he had sole charge of the Indians, and 

 no depredation occurred. [He died in Chicago 

 March 21, lS9i).]—Appleton'g Cyclop.of Am.Biog.
