Wesley Merritt: One of eleven children,Wesley Merritt was
born In New York City on
June
16,1834, so n of
an
unsuccessful lawyer. When he
wa s
stilla young boy, the
family moved to a
farm
in St. ClairCounty, Illinois, where his
father wa s a farmer, newspaper editor a nd sta te legislator.
Although itwas anticipated that Wesleywould be a lawyer
like his father, he accepted an appointment to West Point in
1855. He graduated twenty-second out offorty-one inthe
class of
1860
and w as
commissioned
an officer in th e
Second
Dragoons. He served in John Buford's company ofDragoons at Camp Floyd,
Utah. When
war
broke out, he came east with
th e
Second Dragoons an d
served as an aide to
Brig.
Gen. Philip St. George Cooke. The regiment became
known as th e 2nd U.S. Cavalry after
th e
outbreak of th e war.
Merritt performedably
in
this role, and then as the Cavalry Corps ordinance
officerto
Maj.
Gen. George Stoneman. When
Maj.
Gen.
Alfred
Pleasonton
assumed
command of the Cavalry Corps, Merritt took command of the 2nd
U.S. Cavalry. Merritt distinguished himself at the Battle ofBrandy Station and
again at the Battle ofUpperville on June 21,
1863,
and, at Pleasonton s
request,was
promoted
from captain to brigadier general ofvolunteers on June
28, 1863. He
assumed
command of the Reserve Brigade, and later became
commander of the First Division of the Cavalry Corps. At the end of the Civil
War, now a majorgeneral of volunteers,Merritt briefly commanded the Cavalry
Corps. During the war s final command, he was second in command to Maj.
Gen.
Philip
H.Sheridan, and was one ofthe three Federal commissioners to
receive th e formal surrender of the Confederates. Merritt
earned
Sheridan s
respect, and became his principal subordinate as timepassed.
After the Civil War, he became lieutenant colonel of the 9th U.S. Cavalry,
colonel of the 5th U.S.Cavalry in 1876, and
in
1887, a brigadier general inthe
RegularArmy. n 1895, hewas promoted tomajorgeneral. Hewas an active
Indian fighter, served as commandantofWest Point, and commandedthe U.S.
expedition
to conquer Manila.
Philippines,
during the Spanish-American
War.
General Merritt accepted the Spanish surrender. He then assumed command
ofthe Department ofthe East
until
his retirement on June 16,1900, after
forty
years
in
the RegularArmy. Hespent his last years traveling between
Washington
and Natural
Bridge,
Virginia, where he diedon December3,1910.
The general s remains were buriedat his belovedWest Point.
The clean-shaven Merritt
wa s
tall, slender
an d
intellectual looking. He had a
constitution of iron, an d under a rather passive demeanor, concealed a fiery
ambition. Very much John Buford s prot6g6, Merritt was quiet, competent and
self-effacing.
Known
as a martinet, he was cool and fearless under pressure.
An officer of th e 2nd U.S. wrote of him, Merritt at his high prime
wa s
th e
e m b o di m e n t o f force. He w as on e of those rare
men
whose
faculties are
sharpened and whose view is cleared on the battlefield. His decisions were
delivered withthe rapidityof thought and were as clear as ifthey had been
studied forweeks. He always said that he never found that his firstjudgment
gainedby time and reflection. n him a fiery soulwas
held
in
thrall
towill. Never
disturbed bydoubt, or moved byfear, neither circumspect nor rash, he never
missed an opportunity or made a mistake.
Ofall the generals that helped win the Civil War, few had longer, more
effective,or more glorious careers than didWesley
Merritt,
