Civil War Union Brevet Brigadier General. He grew up in what is now Sleepy Hollow, New York, and worked as a theatre critic in New York City before volunteering for the Union Army in 1862. He was appointed to the staff of Brigadier General Thomas Sherman in 1863, and was wounded during Battle at Port Hudson that year. In 1864, he joined the staff of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, serving as his military secretary and participating in the Appomattox and Wilderness campaigns. He accompanied Grant at the surrender of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
