MacGowan, Alexander B.
Captain Alexander MacGowan served with the Twelfth Infantry and was Provost Marshall in charge of Indian prisoners at Fort Apache. He actively fought against Indian rebellions in Arizona and was recognized for his actions in battle.
In Arizona Indian and Government relations during the 1880s were very turbulent. It was from Fort Apache that Indians such as Geronimo were pursued.
