Will McGovern

In May 1873, the State Legislature issued a Joint Resolution citing the

grateful thanks of the citizens of Texas to Gen. Ranald Mackenzie and the

US Fourth Cavalry. Will McGovern tells the story behind that historic event.

Lieutenant Will McGovern resigned his commission after endless Army

pursuits when Indians on vengeance raids into Texas escaped across the Rio

Grande. When his Uvalde ranch is attacked, Col. Mackenzie queries the West

Point graduate, “Want to hunt Indians with me?” Will finally crosses that

river into Mexico with the Fourth, but discovers the real “Indian threat’ and

solves a seven-year mystery.
