General Lew Wallace was born in Indiana; his father was a former governor of the state, and his maternal grandfather had been Indiana's first United States Congressman. Although his formal schooling ended at the age of sixteen, he continued to read, and studied law with his father, eventually being accepted to the bar. He joined the army during the Mexican War, and saw notable action during the Civil War, becoming the youngest Major General of his day. After the war he held several significant posts, including territorial governor of New Mexico, and Minister to Turkey; he served on the court that sentenced President Lincoln's assassins, and was appointed to preside over the court-martial of Henry Wirz for mistreatment of prisoners at Andersonville. Throughout his life, Wallace wrote for periodicals and published several novels, including Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, the best-selling American novel of the 19th century.
American lawyer, soldier, author, and diplomat.
American author and Union army general.
The son of Indiana governor David Wallace, Lew Wallace was an author, army officer and politician. He served in the Mexican and Civil Wars, and as a politician in the Indiana State Senate, as governor of New Mexico Territory, and as U.S. Minister to Turkey. Best remembered as an author, Wallace wrote BEN-HUR and a biography of Benjamin Harrison.
Lewis "Lew" Wallace (10-April 1827 to 15 February 1905) was born in Brookville, Indiana to Ester French Test Wallace and David Wallace, an attorney who became governor of Indiana in 1837. During the Mexican War, Wallace raised a volunteer company and became a second lieutenant in the 1st Indiana Infantry. Wallace was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1849. In 1856 he successfully ran for the Indiana State Senate. Wallace began his Civil War career as the adjutant general of Indiana and finished his military career as commander of the VIII Army Corps of the Army of the Potomac. His second return to civilian life ushered in additional public service, first as Territorial Governor of New Mexico from 1878 to 1881 and second as minister to Turkey from 1881 to 1885. Despite his public and military career, Wallace had little aptitude for politics, disliked the law and served the military only in times of national need. His most vital and enduring interests lay in art, music and literature. Wallace was a man of letters, first as a journalist and then as an author and biographer. Wallace is best remembered for writing The Fair God (1873), Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1880), The Life of Benjamin, Harrison (1888), and Lew Wallace: An Autobiography (1906).
Eugene Allen Fiske (? to 22 August 1910) was born in Concord, New Hampshire. During the Civil War, Fiske served with a Massachusetts regiment in the Army of the Potomac. In the late 1870s, Fiske came to New Mexico to practice law. He served as United States District Attorney for New Mexico Territory from 1889 to 1893. Following his public service, Fiske returned to private practice specializing in Civil law and representation of utility companies.
