W r h

Wesley Merritt: One of eleven children,Wesley Merritt was

born In New York City on

June

16,1834, so n of

an

unsuccessful lawyer. When he

wa s

stilla young boy, the

family moved to a

farm

in St. ClairCounty, Illinois, where his

father wa s a farmer, newspaper editor a nd sta te legislator.

Although itwas anticipated that Wesleywould be a lawyer

like his father, he accepted an appointment to West Point in

1855. He graduated twenty-second out offorty-one inthe

class of

1860

and w as

commissioned

an officer in th e

Second

Dragoons. He served in John Buford's company ofDragoons at Camp Floyd,

Utah. When

war

broke out, he came east with

th e

Second Dragoons an d

served as an aide to

Brig.

Gen. Philip St. George Cooke. The regiment became

known as th e 2nd U.S. Cavalry after

th e

outbreak of th e war.

Merritt performedably

in

this role, and then as the Cavalry Corps ordinance

officerto

Maj.

Gen. George Stoneman. When

Maj.

Gen.

Alfred

Pleasonton

assumed

command of the Cavalry Corps, Merritt took command of the 2nd

U.S. Cavalry. Merritt distinguished himself at the Battle ofBrandy Station and

again at the Battle ofUpperville on June 21,

1863,

and, at Pleasonton s

request,was

promoted

from captain to brigadier general ofvolunteers on June

28, 1863. He

assumed

command of the Reserve Brigade, and later became

commander of the First Division of the Cavalry Corps. At the end of the Civil

War, now a majorgeneral of volunteers,Merritt briefly commanded the Cavalry

Corps. During the war s final command, he was second in command to Maj.

Gen.

Philip

H.Sheridan, and was one ofthe three Federal commissioners to

receive th e formal surrender of the Confederates. Merritt

earned

Sheridan s

respect, and became his principal subordinate as timepassed.

After the Civil War, he became lieutenant colonel of the 9th U.S. Cavalry,

colonel of the 5th U.S.Cavalry in 1876, and

in

1887, a brigadier general inthe

RegularArmy. n 1895, hewas promoted tomajorgeneral. Hewas an active

Indian fighter, served as commandantofWest Point, and commandedthe U.S.

expedition

to conquer Manila.

Philippines,

during the Spanish-American

War.

General Merritt accepted the Spanish surrender. He then assumed command

ofthe Department ofthe East

until

his retirement on June 16,1900, after

forty

years

in

the RegularArmy. Hespent his last years traveling between

Washington

and Natural

Bridge,

Virginia, where he diedon December3,1910.

The general s remains were buriedat his belovedWest Point.

The clean-shaven Merritt

wa s

tall, slender

an d

intellectual looking. He had a

constitution of iron, an d under a rather passive demeanor, concealed a fiery

ambition. Very much John Buford s prot6g6, Merritt was quiet, competent and

self-effacing.

Known

as a martinet, he was cool and fearless under pressure.

An officer of th e 2nd U.S. wrote of him, Merritt at his high prime

wa s

th e

e m b o di m e n t o f force. He w as on e of those rare

men

whose

faculties are

sharpened and whose view is cleared on the battlefield. His decisions were

delivered withthe rapidityof thought and were as clear as ifthey had been

studied forweeks. He always said that he never found that his firstjudgment

gainedby time and reflection. n him a fiery soulwas

held

in

thrall

towill. Never

disturbed bydoubt, or moved byfear, neither circumspect nor rash, he never

missed an opportunity or made a mistake.

Ofall the generals that helped win the Civil War, few had longer, more

effective,or more glorious careers than didWesley

Merritt,
