I always felt Miles never got the recognition he earned. I doubt most American even know who he was. It is however, evident he was very much a egotist, battling with many, Including Crook and Gatewood, for credit in various campaigns and events.

I believe this is the general who met with the great Indian warrior Geronimo.
