About This Book

A concise family biography traces three brothers from a pioneer household through their mid-19th-century military careers and personal backgrounds. It outlines the family's migration and upbringing, the mother's role in maintaining the household, and each brother's service: one who became an artillery officer and fell at a pivotal battlefield, one whose naval daring culminated in the destruction of an enemy ironclad, and one who served on the western frontier in artillery and cavalry and died in action. The narrative uses records, letters, portraits, and contemporary appreciations to document promotions, deeds, and public recognition.
