Jefferson Columbus Davis, Union general, 1862-1867. The namesake of the Confederate President, Davis (1828-1879) notoriously shot and killed a superior Officer, Major General William 'Bull' Nelson, after an argument on 29 September 1862. He escaped imprisonment because of the urgent need for experienced commanders in the Union Army. From 1868 to 1870 he served as the first commander of the Department of Alaska. An engraving from volume III of The War with the South : a History of the Late Rebellion, by Robert Tomes, Benjamin G Smith, New York, Virtue & Yorston, 3 Volumes, 1862-1867.
