Charles Dudley Rhodes (February 10, 1865 – January 24, 1948) was a United States Army Major General. He was a prominent commander of cavalry units from the Indian Wars through World War I, and was a lecturer and author.
The son of Major Dudley Woodbridge Rhodes and Marcia Parrish, Charles D. Rhodes was nicknamed "Teddy". He was born in Delaware, Ohio on February 10, 1865, and graduated from Columbian University (now George Washington University) in 1885. In 1889 he graduated from the United States Military Academy, receiving a commission as a Second Lieutenant of cavalry.
Rhodes served in the 6th Cavalry Regiment during the final US Army campaign against the Sioux.
Rhodes' post-Indian Wars assignments included professor of military science at Ohio Wesleyan University and commander of a cavalry troop during the China Relief Expedition.
Rhodes served with the 6th Cavalry Regiment in the Philippines during the Spanish–American War. He received the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism at Cavite on the island of Luzon.
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Charles D. Rhodes, Captain, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action near the barrio of San Nicolas, Pueblo of Bacoor, Cavite, Luzon, Philippine Islands, December 31, 1901. Captain Rhodes gallantly and fearlessly led an attack on a superior body of insurgents with two men of his troop, killing two of the enemy and wounding two, including their leader, and dispersing the remainder.
