Fails WP:NSOLDIER, as only a brevet general (honorary appointment, not the same thing as an actual promotion), was only officially a colonel. Seems to be a GNG failure too, albeit a close-ish one. Gets a paragraph in Eicher's Civil War High Commands [1], but the coverage consists only of a listing of where he was assigned during the American Civil War. The "National Cyclopaedia of American Biography" [2] gives him a very nice writeup, but we need more than that. The rest of the coverage I can find is in blogs, find-a-grave (unreliable), primary source government military reports (primary sources do not establish notability), and a website titled "antietam on the web" that seems to be self-published/blog.
