Butler, William Francis (1838-1910)

Irish soldier and writer. Born in Suirville, Tipperary, he joined the British army in 1858, and served in Canada 1867-73, where his experiences provided the material for his popular work The Great Lone Land (1872). He served on the Red River expedition (1870-71), on the Ashanti expedition (1873), and in the Sudan (1884-85) and South Africa (1888-99). Butler also published biographies of Charles George Gordon and Sir Charles Napier, together with several travel books.
