Hi Wikitreers,
We have a Union General of the U.S. Civil War who I think many will find very fascinating as he relates to U.S. History.
Known also as “Bad Hand” General Ranald (not Ronald) Mackenzie served in the U.S. Civil War see civilwardata with the 2nd Regiment, Connecticut Heavy Artillery, United States Civil War a graduate of West Point class of 1862.
He went on to participate in the Western Theatre of Indian Wars; his own men serving under him nicknamed him “Perpetual Punisher” per Wikipedia
We need collaboration with his service with the Indian War and his involvement as he was ordered to engage “Crazy Horse” at the famed “Battle of Tongue River” where “he successfully drove the Indians into the hills in wild disorder”
He led the “Mackenzie Raiders” in the southwestern area of the U.S and was “decorated for cleaning up the bands of renegades and restoring law and order to the territory”
Any collaboration is appreciated
Thank you
