Description: "General McPherson, born in Sandusky, Ohio, November 14th, 1828, died near Atlanta, Ga., July 22nd, 1864; was graduated at the United States Military Academy in 1853. At the beginning of the Civil War he applied for active duty with the army in the field, where his promotion was very rapid. When active operations began in the spring of 1862 he was transferred to the staff of General Grant, with whom he served as chief engineer at Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh and the siege of Corinth. He repulsed the Confederates at Canton, Miss.; second in command to General Sherman in the expedition to Meridian in 1864; and commanded the Seventeenth Army Corps in the great four months' campaign of 1864 that ended in the capture of Atlanta, near where he was killed."— Frank Leslie, 1896
