"Fungus from the corrupt womb of bigotry and fanaticism… worse tyrant and more inhuman butcher than has existed since the days of Nero…. The man who votes for him now is a traitor and murderer…. And if he is elected to misgovern for another four years, we trust some bold hand will pierce his heart with dagger point for the public good."

bonus:

Wisconsin editor, Marcus M. Pomeroy. Lincoln, he wrote, was "but the fungus from the corrupt womb of bigotry and fanaticism"—indeed a "worse tyrant and more inhuman butcher than has existed since the days of Nero." As the election of 1864 approached, Pomeroy editorialized: "The man who votes for Lincoln now is a traitor and murderer.... And if he is elected to misgovern for another four years, we trust some bold hand will pierce his heart with dagger point for the public good."

CORRECTION: Stephen Crane, author of Civil War tales, most famously, The Red Badge of Courage

Edit - I assume that this correction applies to the first question, and you are replacing your Great-great Uncle Roy with Stephen Crane. Unfortunately, the picture is not of Stephen Crane.

Looks alot to me like Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain who we all know invented the downhill bayonet charge in the face of an exhausted enemy!

Edit - Sorry, it's not Chamberlain.

[Eleanor Rose]

Karl Gerhardt, sculptor of the G. K. Warren Monument - "One of the honors presented to Gerhardt would be to create the death mask of General U. S. Grant. Upon the death of Grant in June of 1886, Gerhardt would be summoned into the room where the body of Grant laid. In true Victorian tradition, a plaster mask of the face of the deceased General was rendered. Following the creation of the mask, Gerhardt indicated he had no contract with the Grant's and elected to keep the mask. After a lengthy scandal, his old friend Samuel Clemens, would intervene and the mask was returned to the Grants. Poor press from the Grant scandal, and poor business investments would contribute to Gerhard's downfall."

"Another of Gerhardt's works at Gettysburg is the Vermont State Memorial. At the top of the monument is the bronze statue of General George Stannard. Gerhardt would use photos of General Stannard as he created the bronze statue."
