Descrição: "Dodge is a brick," he once wrote Grant-perhaps the perfect compliment for a luminary who never quite made it into the Civil War Pantheon and continues to escape notice even today. A Massachusetts native and 1851 graduate ofVermont's Norwich University-with a degree in civil engineering-he eventually relocated to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he had an opportune meeting with Abraham Lincoln while Lincoln was stumping for the Republican Party's 1860 presidential nomination. According to one soldier's letter to the Council Bluffs newspaper: "Through [his] exertions...the 4th has been provided with a full outfit, from head to foot of winter clothing, of excellent material, well-made up. Knee-deep snow greatly hindered the Confederate advance, but Van Dorn's decision to leave his supply wagons behind for speed would be a regrettable mistake.
