Born in Apponaug May 6, 1801, he joined the union army and was eventually promoted to Brigadier General, US Volunteers on April 28, l862 in his sixties as one of the oldest field officers in the army.
At the July 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, the Brigadier General’s brigade occupied Culp’s Hill when the attack started on the evening of July 2, according to findagrave.com. “His line was terribly thin and thinner when he stretched it out as far as it would go. He held off the attacks until reinforcements arrived, thus saving that vital hill from capture. In so doing he helped win the Battle of Gettysburg and turn the tide of the war.”
