Isambard Cabot

Isambard Cabot was the great-great-grandfather of Alexander Cabot II and Alexandria Cabot. He was a General in the U.S. Calvary in the mid 19th century.

In the 1880s, he had Fort Cabot built in Heywoodville, Arizona using payroll shipments he stole from his own troops.

During the Battle of Fort Cabot, his troops attacked him for stealing their pay. After they captured him, they tarred and feathered him, put him on the back of his horse, spanked the rear of the horse and sent it running along side Heywood Canyon with im on it. The horse later got spooked by a couple of rattlesnakes when it reached the end of the trail and it sent Cabot flying into the air where he splashed into the river and was later rescued by a passing riverboat. He was last seen, alive and well, scrubbing the poopdeck.

After the battle, Fort Cabot was abandoned.

Later on, a plaque was erected on the site of the battle, which said the following: "THIS PLAQUE MARKS THE SPOT WHERE GENERAL ISAMBARD CABOT WAS ATTACKED BY HIS OWN MEN. THIS LATER BECAME KNOWN AS THE BATTLE OF FORT CABOT".
