Lewis Wallace Although he would have much preferred to be remembered as a highly successful military hero, Lew Wallace has been thwarted in this ambition and is best known as an author. Born in Indiana, he had worked as a clerk and early displayed a fascination for Mexico which would affect him in later years. During the Mexican War he served as a second lieutenant in the lst Indiana but saw only minor action. In 1849 he was admitted to the bar in his native state and seven years later entered the state senate. With the outbreak of the Civil War he offered his services, and his assignments included: adjutant general of Indiana (April 1861); colonel, 11th Indiana (April 25, 1861); colonel, 11th Indiana (reorganized August 31, 1861); brigadier general, USV (September 3, 1861); commanding 3rd Division, District of Cairo, Department of the Missouri (February 14-17, 1862); major general, USV (March 21, 1862); commanding 3rd Division, Army of the Tennessee (February 17-June 1862); commanding 8th Corps, Middle Department (March 22, 1864-February 1,1865 and April 19-August 1, 1865); and also commanding the department (March 22, 1864-February 1,1865 and April 19-June 27, 1865). At the close of the war he sat on the court-martial which tried the Lincoln conspirators and presided over that which sent Andersonville chief Henry Wirz to the gallows. He then joined a movement to aid the Juarez forces against Maximilian in Mexico. He tried to raise money and troops and even accepted the title of major general from the Juarez group. On November 30, 1865, he resigned from the U.S. service, but his Mexican venture collapsed and he realized little of the money which he had hoped to gain from it. In later years he was governor of the New Mexico Territory and a diplomat to Turkey. As a prolific writer, who often drew upon his own experiences, he is best remembered for

Returning to civilian life Wallace passed the bar examination in 1849 and was elected to the Indiana State Senate in 1856. When the Civil War broke out Governor Oliver P. Morton asked Wallace to serve as the state's adjutant. Wallace performed well in this assignment, then was appointed colonel of the three-month Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

Lew Wallace: Lewis "Lew" Wallace (1827-1905) was born in Brookville , Indiana, on April 10, 1827, to David and Esther French Test Wallace . David Wallace was an attorney who was elected governor of Indiana early in Lew's childhood. At the outbreak of the Mexican War, Wallace helped raise a company of volunteers for the service and was elected 1st lieutanant of the 1st Indiana Infantry. After the war, he was admitted to the bar in 1849, but never cared much for the life of a lawyer. In 1852, he married Susan Arnold Elston a Crawfordsville native and successful author in her own right. Following in his father's footsteps, Lew was elected to the Indiana senate in 1856, and moved from Covington to Crawfordsville , where he made his home for the rest of his life. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War, Wallace served as adjutant general of Indiana. He requested a field command and received a commission as colonel of the 11th Indiana Infantry (a Zouave regiment) from Governor Oliver P. Morton. Wallace quickly rose to the rank of brigadier general and took part in the capture of Fort Donelson . At Shiloh , Wallace and his division became "lost" due to unclear orders from Ulysses Grant and their anticipated attack on the Confederate line did not come on the first day. Shiloh was the bloodiest battle yet of the Civil War and Grant, under pressure from Henry Halleck and the public, needed someone to blame. Wallace took the brunt of Grant's anger and soon found himself without a command.
