George Wythe Baylor came from a famous family and I hear there's a Baylor University somewhere. Unless they play The Ohio State at American rules football, I doubt I'll ever hear of 'em again.

- born in Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation, on August 2, 1832.
- the 2nd battalion merged with the 2nd Cavalry regiment of the Arizona Brigade, Baylor was elected its colonel.
- aide to A S Johnston at Shiloh; also commanded a regiment of cavalry during the Red River campaign of 1864
- quarreled with and killed fellow staff officer John Austin Wharton
- 1879-1880 Baylor's rangers pursued the Mescalero Apache chief Victorio and his band
