George H. Morgan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Horace Morgan (January 1, 1855–February 14, 1948) was an American cavalry officer and Medal of Honor recipient. He was the son of a Civil War general, George N. Morgan, and graduated from West Point, the U.S. Military Academy, in 1880.
Morgan served in all the United States' wars from the Indian Wars to World War I. He was wounded by an Apache in the Battle of Big Dry Wash in the Arizona Territory in 1882, for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor. The bullet remained near his heart until it shifted in 1948 and caused his death. He is the namesake of Camp Morgan in Bosnia.
Morgan attained the rank of Colonel, and is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
