About Fighting Butlers
The five Fighting Butlers were brothers of Irish extraction who settled in Carlisle, colonial Pennsylvania, and at Fort Pitt, and were involved in the American Revolutionary War, the Battle of the Wabash, and the American settlement of the region surrounding the mouth of the Mississippi River. Editor Francis P. Blair popularized the story of the Fighting Butlers when William O. Butler was a Democratic Party vice-presidential candidate in 1848 with Lewis Cass.
