McCaul was born in New York City on January 18, 1838; he received a common school education. He came to Wisconsin with his father and stepmother in 1855; they settled in Fox Lake. He became a farmer and merchant. At the outbreak of the Civil War, he enlisted in the 2nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment but was discharged at Camp Randall "for injuries received" (presumably during training. He re-enlisted in 1861 as a private in Company G of the 1st United States Sharpshooters (better known as Berdan's U. S Sharpshooters}. He participated in several battles, from the Siege of Yorktown (1862) to the Battle of Charles City Crossroads (he was brevetted Captain by Governor of Wisconsin Lucius Fairchild "in recognition of gallant and meritorious conduct in rallying retreating troops" at this battle) to the Second Battle of Bull Run. (He also briefly went absent without leave in order to smuggle the body of a fellow Fox Lake soldier back home for burial; then returned to his unit.〔Stevens, Charles Augustus. ''Berdan's United States Sharpshooters in the Army of the Potomac, 1861-1865'' St. Paul: Price-McGill Company, 1892; p. 99〕) At Bull Run he was wounded in the hip and shoulder, and lost his hearing in the right ear, as a result of which he was discharged from the service in 1863. He became a civilian employee of the Quartermaster Department in Washington, D.C. in 1864, and served at Fort Laramie during Red Cloud's War.
