Trivia 8-3-15 Monday Mindboggler

[Trivia Master]

I was born in Baden and immigrated to the US as a child. I served in the Union Army and was wounded in the Battle of Gettysburg. During the Apache Wars I was hired by the army as a civil scout. When my time had come I was rolled over by a boulder.

Who am I?

hint: I was wounded 28 times.

Question submitted by me ... shouldn't be difficult with the hint - though a correct alternative answer would be an impressive coincidence.

That's Albert Sieber

When it was decided that a dam (Roosevelt) should be built on Salt River in Tonto Basin, Sieber was hired to lead an Apache crew to work on the roads leading to the dam. On 19 February 1907 a large boulder impeded construction of the road, and Sieber got underneath the rock to inspect it. It rolled over on him, and he was killed. Some feel, however, that some Apaches rolled the rock over on him. No one knows if that is true, but that rumor has been in this area ever since. Anyway, Sieber was buried in the old Globe cemetery, and a great tombstone was erected at his grave shortly after. Governor George W. P. Hunt convinced the Arizona Territorial Legislature that it should be built for him. The monument still stands as a fitting tribute to a remarkable man. Also, a stone was erected by Apache workmen at the site where the boulder killed him. It is still located just north of what is now the Roosevelt Dam bridge. http://zybtarizona.com/sieber.htm
