He was tall, a brilliant man, a great leader, and an even better engineer! He was soft spoken but rigid in military discipline. He loved his state and his family and was a Christian by religion. He was a hero of the Mexican War and lead the marines that captured John Brown at Harpers Ferry. Had Virginia stayed in the union he would have been commander of their army after Winfield Scott retired.
