Smith, Gustavus Woodson 1822-
Military officer; born in Scott county, Ky., Jan. 1, 1822; graduated at West Point in 1842; served in the war against Mexico; and resigned, for the consideration of $10,000 from the Cuban fund, to join a projected expedition against Cuba, under General Quitman, in 1854.
He afterwards settled in New York City, and was street commissioner there, when he joined the Confederates under Gen. Mansfield Lovell, at New Orleans.
He was commissioned major-general, and after Gen. Joseph E. Johnston was wounded at Fair Oaks he took command of his army temporarily.
In 1864 he commanded at Augusta, Ga., and was captured at Marion (April 20, 1865) by General Wilson.
After the war he was in business in Tennessee, Kentucky, and New York City.
