Biography

Gallantry during cavalry operations along the Wichita River

Daniel Keating received the Medal of Honor for an action along the Wichita River in Texas on 5 October 1870. He served as a corporal in Company M, 6th United States Cavalry, during the Army’s western campaigns. The official citation recognizes gallantry in fighting and pursuit but does not describe a particular maneuver. His account preserves the documented recognition and setting without adding unsupported details about the engagement.
