Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 14. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), The battle of Chancellorsville. (search)
by Colonel Theodore A. Dodge, author of the admirable book on Chancellorsville, which we had occasion to notice so favorably. In order that our readers may see clearly who it is that gives this able, clear, and very fair account of this great battle, we insert the following brief sketch of Colonel Dodge given by the Boston Herald. Colonel Theodore A. Dodge is one of the best known men in Boston military circles. He is now in his 43d year, having been born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in 1842. When quite young he went to Berlin, Prussia, where he received his military education under General von Froneich, of the Prussian army. When the civil war cloud burst in the United States he promptly returned home, enlisted and went to the front. He served constantly in the Army of the Potomac (in every volunteer regimental rank up to that of colonel) from the Peninsula, where he was with Kearney, through Pope's and Burnside's campaigns, and at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, in which la

To the pursuit of his calling, and to the establishment of a reputation, enviable both within and beyond the confines of the court-room, did he devote himself with great assiduity. In 1836, as the captain of a company of volunteers, he served under General Scott in an expedition for the pacification of the Creek Indians. The following year he was elected a member of the lower house of the General Assembly of Georgia. This position he filled until 1840, and again during the session of 1842-43. From his earliest connection with political life he became a central figure. His views were bold, enlarged, emphatic; and his utterances eloquent, aggressive, and weighty. In 1844 he was, by an admiring constituency, advanced to a seat in the Representative Chamber of the National Assembly. Here he made his debut on the Oregon question. In the judgment of Mr. Stephens, his first speech placed him in the front rank of the debaters, orators, and statesmen of that body. Educated in a

nce is made, Volume II, pages 180-1. The President signing it under the conviction that protection was, under it, only incidental, it was, however, a protective bill. The title of the bill declared it for revenue, and the President had no authority to look behind the title and pass upon its protective features. That power belonged exclusively to the Legislature. Hon. John Randolph Tucker told me two years ago that the Democrats in Congress would gladly agree to get back to the tariff of 1842.—the author. The most brilliant event of Tyler's administration, it may be said, of any event since the war of 1812, was the annexation of Texas. Tyler acted with great wisdom and skill, and deserves great credit for the success that attended his efforts. The event belongs to American history, above and beyond the application or touch of politics, as a gem in American statesmanship that will retain its brilliancy on the historic page as long as American history is read.
