A Vermont native, I was one of 23 in my USMA class to become generals during the Civil War. I served in the Second Seminole War, the Mexican War - where I got my nickname - as well as various frontier posts, before resigning my commission to become a farmer. At the start of the Civil War, I recruited and organized an infantry regiment. I was wounded during an 1862 battle and died a couple of months later of pneumonia.
