This article draft is about a Union Army brevet brigadier general who later served as Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Dakota Territory. The subject is documented in multiple independent, reliable secondary sources, including The Papers of Ulysses S. Grant (SIU Press), Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, History of Dakota Territory (1915), Sitting Bull’s Boss (University of Oklahoma Press), and Heitman’s Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army (1903). The title calls him a “Union officer” to distinguish him from other historical figures from the Civil War with very similar names.
