    about general Miles
    Nelson Appleton Miles
    (August 8, 1839 – May 15, 1925) was an American military
    general
    who served in the
    American Civil War
    , the
    American Indian Wars
    , and the
    Spanish–American War
    . From 1895 to 1903, he served as the last
    Commanding General of the United States Army
    before the office was abolished.
    Miles City, Montana
    is named in his honor,
    [13]
    as is Miles Street and the Miles Neighborhood in
    Tucson, Arizona
    . Miles Canyon on the
    Yukon River
    near
    Whitehorse, Yukon
    , was named after him in 1883 by Lt.
    Frederick Schwatka
    during his exploration of the river system. A
    steamship
    ,
    General Miles
    , was likely named for him.
    Nelson M. Holderman
    , himself a Medal of Honor recipient, was also named after Miles.
    Miles' legacy as an Indian fighter has seen him portrayed by
    Kevin Tighe
    in the film
    Geronimo: An American Legend
    and by Shaun Johnston in the film adaptation of
    Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee
    . There is a bust of General Miles in the
    Massachusetts State Capitol
    in Boston. General Miles' son,
    Sherman Miles
    , was a career Army officer who graduated from West Point in 1905 and rose to the rank of major general during
    World War II
    .
