He fought as a Union officer in the American Civil War and, as a writer, was devoted to both the Civil War and the great generals of ancient and European history.
Born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, he received a military education in Berlin and attended University College London and the University of Heidelberg. Returning to the United States in 1861, he promptly enlisted as a private in the New York volunteer infantry.
Over the course of the Civil War, he rose to the rank of brevet lieutenant-colonel, losing his right leg at the Battle of Gettysburg. He served at the War Department from 1864 and was commissioned in the regular army in 1866. In 1870 he retired with the rank of major. His works on the Civil War include The Campaign of Chancellorsville (1881) and Bird’s Eye View of the Civil War (1883).
Following retirement he lived in Boston before moving to Paris, where he died in 1909 at the age of 67.lihat lebih sedikit
