Zusammenfassung:"Lawton served the country nearly uninterrupted from the day he enlisted at age 18--soon after President Lincoln's first call for volunteers to fight in the Civil War, where he earned a Medal of Honor-to his death at age 56, a major general in the Philippine War, . In between, he fought in the Indian Wars in Texas, the Northern Plains and the Arizona Territory.
