Henry Beebee Carrington (1824–1912) was a Yale-educated lawyer, professor, prolific author, and U.S. Army officer who served as a colonel and brigadier general during the American Civil War, organizing thousands of volunteers from Ohio and Indiana. Post-war, he commanded forts along the Bozeman Trail during Red Cloud's War, suffering a notable defeat, and later taught military history at Wabash College while writing books like *Washington the Soldier* (1898).
