This Week:

The Union's Greatest Unsung General: Fighting With and Forgetting Alpheus Williams

Historian Daniel Brennan, West Virginia University

General Alpheus Starkey Williams was considered one of the Union’s most reliable commanders, having led troops across seven states. Despite this, he began and ended the war with the same rank, passed over for promotion while less experienced men advanced. He once wrote in frustration, “there is an unwritten history…that somebody will be obliged to set right some day.” Discover Williams’s history, marked by battles between personal insecurity and deep pride in his men; between military success and postwar obscurity.
