This book is a compilation of information gathered about First Sergeant William McNamara and his service in the Fourth Cavalry United States Army from December 3, 1856 until his retirement more than thirty years later on August 8, 1887. From registers of enlistments with the United States Army, a timeline is assembled of William's service, his postings and the known personal events that parallel his military life. Throughout this story, there are references from books published and primary source documents about the Fourth Cavalry, its' engagements and postings. These are used along with personal documents to complete the story. William McNamara was from County Mayo, Ireland according to his Registers of Enlistment. He emigrated to the United States during the end of the Great Famine and sometime before his first military enlistment. While his Civil War service is included, this book primarily focuses on his service during the Indian Wars. Not much focus is placed on the Indian Wars today, as most historical surveys skip from the Civil War to the Spanish American War, forgetting this time period in our nations history. I was told stories about my second great-grandfather William as a small girl from my grandmother, Marion McNamara Richman, his granddaughter. The stories of living in forts, spending years in his saddle and his Indians engagements in the west - Texas, Oklahoma and Wyoming were fascinating to me. An Irish born immigrant of the famine; William joined the United States Army like thousands of other young Irish men. He could not read or write, however by the end of his enlistment, he signs his name beautifully. William McNamara was a recipient of the Medal of Honor on September 29, 1872 after the Battle of the North Fork of the Red River. Under the command of Captain Wirt Davis and Fourth Cavalry leader Ranald Mackenzie, the battle was one of the last in the Texas plains with the Comanche Indians. Being told that William was a Medal of Honor recipient made me curious to research his life, as not many people have an ancestor who was awarded this honor. When I asked my grandmother, what became of the medal, she said she didn't know. Often, I would search eBay or websites offering Indian Wars memorabilia in hopes of finding it. While paging at a Daughters of the American Revolution Texas State Conference in 2013, my daughter Marion heard a presentation on Fold3. Coming out from the presentation, she said to me that I needed to put the information I had about William McNamara on the Wall of Honor on the Fold3 website. I went home and did just that. A year or so later, I was contacted by Catherine Gray, another second great granddaughter of William McNamara, and her family had the medal! I was overjoyed and amazed by the power of the internet. I had a new cousin with a shared interest in the history of our Irish immigrant ancestor. I am forever grateful to Catherine and the generosity of her cousins for sharing the medal with our branch of the family. The medal has been donated to the Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington, Texas so that people can hear more about the Indian Wars and this period of time in our history. This story is by no means complete as there is still so much that we don't know about William. Having started this more than thirty years ago, I just had to put down what I know as of now, otherwise this work would not be able to be shared.

With color and verve, Gregory J. W. Urwin presents the history of the mounted forces of the United States. He combines combat reports, personality profiles, and political and social overviews to present a complete picture of a bygone era extending from the Revolutionary War well into the twentieth century. For more than a century, the U.S. Cavalry played a prominent role in American military conflicts, serving as both a frontier police force and as a major combat arm in the republic's conventional wars. Urwin begins his story in New York City in 1776 with the Continental Light Dragoons and continues it through the days of the "pony soldiers" of the western plains, including detailed coverage of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer's 7th Cavalry Regiment. Urwin concludes with descriptions of General John J. Pershing's 1916 Punitive Expedition into Mexico and the exploits of the 26th U.S. Cavalry, the only United States mounted outfit to see combat in World War II, during the defense of the Philippines in 1941-42.
