Question
My hometown is better known for athletes than generals. Like many USMA graduates, I resigned from the Army and worked in industry. Unlike some, I remained a commissioned officer in my state's militia. Soon after the beginning of the rebellion, I was promoted to Brigadier General of Volunteers. I rose to Division commander and finally to Major General. My career was effectively ended because of my close association with another, better-known officer. My commission as Major General did not receive Congressional approval and I saw no further field service, instead commanding a major Draft Depot before leaving service in late 1864.
(A) Who am I?
(B) Who was my discredited associate?
