In 1876 a Union Civil War Colonel built a Victorian-style Cape May hotel. This colonel had been held as a prisoner of war and was scheduled to be executed, but President Lincoln intervened.
Name the colonel and the hotel. What did President Lincoln tell the Confederacy that led to his release?

Bonus:
Which Confederate regiment, organized in June 1861 at Manassas Junction, mustered less than 60 men at Antietam, captured an enemy flag and had less than twenty men remaining in the ranks when the smoke cleared? During the battle, the colonel was wounded for the third time (having received the other wounds at 2nd Manassas and South Mountain) and was for a short time captured before the enemy was driven back and the colonel rescued.
The colonel was promoted to Brigadier General on November 1, 1862, and his former regiment assigned to his brigade. What was his name?
