Keyes, Erasmus Darwin 1810-1895 Military officer; born in Brimfield, Mass., May 29, 1810; graduated at West Point in 1832, entered the artillery, and was made assistant adjutant, with rank of captain, in 1838. Becoming full captain in 1841, he was appointed instructor of artillery and cavalry at West Point in 1844. He did service against the Indians on the Pacific coast, and when the Civil War broke out was appointed (May, 1861), colonel of infantry and brigadier-general of volunteers. At the battle of Bull Run, in July, he commanded the first brigade in Taylor's division. Early in 1862 he was appointed commander of the 4th Corps of the Army of the Potomac, and won the rank of major-general of volunteers and the brevet of brigadier-general, U. S. A., by his conduct in the peninsular campaign. He resigned May 6, 1864, and engaged in gold-mining. General Keyes published Fifty years observation of men and events. He died in Nice, France, Oct. 11, 1895.

for the year 1864. One, under his own immediate direction, was for the seizure of Richmond, the Confederate capital; the other was for the seizure of Atlanta, Ga., the focus of several converging railways. The latter expedition was led by General Sherman. His army numbered nearly 100,000 men, comprising the Army of the Cumberland, led by Gen. George H. Thomas; the Army of the Tennessee, commanded by Gen. J. B. McPherson; and the Army of the Ohio, led by Gen. J. M. Schofield. When, on May 6,. 1864, Sherman began to move southward from the vicinity of Chattanooga, his army was confronted by a Confederate force of 55,000 men, led by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, and arranged in three corps, commanded respectively by Generals Hardee, Hood, and Polk. This army then lay at Dalton, at the parting of the ways —one leading into east Tennessee and the other into west Tennessee. To strike that position in front was, at least, perilous; so Sherman began a series of successful flanking movements.
