Pullman Strike Spanish–American War Allyn Capron (August 27, 1846 – September 18, 1898), was a captain in the United States Army.

He served at the Presidio of San Francisco until May 1890 when Battery E was reassigned to Fort Douglas near Salt Lake City, Utah.

The battery's four Hotchkiss breech-loading rifles (Model 1875) are frequently cited as major factor in the high casualties among the Lakotas.

In April 1898, following the outbreak of the Spanish–American War, the battery was sent to Tampa, Florida, where it prepared for the upcoming invasion of Cuba.

Capron and Battery E accompanied Major General William R. Shafter's V Corps when it landed in Cuba in June.

[5] Capron received two Silver Citation Stars of gallantry in action (one for the Sioux Campaign of 1890 to 1891 and the other for service in Cuba).
