At the beginning of the Civil War he was sent by his father to plan and take charge of a naval battery on Maryland Heights. He then became aid to General Sigel, and served through Fremont’s and Pope’s campaigns, acting as sigel’s chief of artillery at the second battle of Bull Run; served on General Hooker’s staff, distinguishing himself at Chancellorsville, and as aid to General Meade at Gettysburg rendering important service.
