Description
Born in Shawneetown, Illinois in time to be newly graduated from West Point when the Civil War erupted, Wilson was soon a twenty-three-year-old “boy wonder” – a second Lieutenant in charge of men. By his twenty-sixth birthday he was a brigadier general. He was talented in military affairs, marked by his superiors as a soldier with promise, and, as this biography records, had a compulsive drive to succeed and to serve his country.
