Photo taken of Kate Hewitt in Philadelphia,
just after General Reynolds was killed. Est. Mid-1863
Catherine Hewitt was Maj. General John Reynolds' secret fiancΓ©. Kate Hewitt's existence wasn't discovered by John's colleagues or family until his death when they found Kate's Catholic medal and a gold ring in the form of clasped hands around John's neck. Inside the ring were inscribed the words "Dear Kate". They also noticed that John's West Point ring was missing.
Disambiguation: The Catherine "Kate" Hewitt of Stillwater, Saratoga County, New York, born in 1834, is a different person, and was never engaged to be married to Maj. Gen. John Fulton Reynolds.

James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok
Though best known as a gunfighter, gambler, and lawman, James B. Hickok, otherwise "Wild Bill"--which came from the derisive "Duck Bill", a musing about his Cyrano de Bergerac-like rostrum--was a scout briefly during the Civil War, and before that a Jayhawker. His activities outside of what little law there was in the West may have resulted in his discharge as early as 1862, afterward becoming a scout for General John B. Samborn on the frontier. He would spend the rest of his life a drifter in numerous lawkeeping jobs until his assassination in 1876.
