Lawton Remembered as Soldier and Administrator
General Henry Ware Lawton, the only regular army general killed in action since the Spanish War began, rose from the ranks, earned high praise for his leadership in Cuba and Santiago, and gained a reputation for administrative ability that led some to imagine him as a future governor of the Philippines. He stood over six feet, weighed about two hundred pounds, and was famed for his white helmet and fearless exposure in battle. After three decades of service he died poor, with his legacy marked by bravery and persistent pursuit of Geronimo.
