Way back the Miles family if i- a fatn'ly of lighters, and Nelson A.althounb having - long and bril liant record In tho 1 1 - war, is more widely known us the greatest of the Indian lighters. The general was born in Massachusetts in 18o9, and here jot an aeuletnic itducation. When the war broke out be was In business in Boston. Hut he quit the business and went to the front. Contributing bis entire personal meaus, at the age of 21 he raised a company of volunteers, tbe Tweuty-second Massachusetts infantry. On May 31, 18G2, be was honorably mustered out of tbe captaincy to ac :ept tbe lieutenant colonelcy of the Sixty first New York infantry. His subsequent promotions until the termination of the rebellion were from colonelcy, brigadier-cenernl of volunteers, October 21, 1865, and on July 28, 1SCG, appointed colonel ol tbe Fortieth United States infantry. He wa9 brevetted brigadier-general for "gallant and meritorious services" on four separate occasions. He commanded the largest division in the United States army, and at the age of 25 was entrusted with the famous Second army corps, numbering 25,0'JO men. Three times he was wounded, and was borne from tbe field, after tbe battle of Chancellorsvillo apparently mor tally wounded. This wound has caused no other serious result than a peculiar life mark. Unable to oontain his restless spirit, as long as there was fighting to be done, he led in tho engage ments with the Indians after tbe close of the war. In 1875 he de feated the Cheyennes, Kiowas and (Jomanchee in the Btaked plains country. The succeeding year he subjugated the hostile Sioux in Montana, driving Sitting Bull across the frontier and breaking up the bands under his leadership. In December, 1877, he capturtd Chief Joseph and his tribe of Nez I'erces, after a tortuous forced maroh over a distance of 160 miles. In 1878 he intercepted and captured Elk Horn and his villainous band on the edge of Yellowstone l'ark. In 1S78 he accomplished the master stroke of his Western Indian en gagements. He subdued and com pelled the surrender of Geronimo and the band of Apaches that repressed civilization in the South west; and later settled the Indian trouoles in the Dakotas and other western states. He commanded the United States troops in Chicago during tbe Debs etrifee in 1894, and in 1896 became the general commanding the army of the United States. conscience fi r briio to lu state treas irey. i hat H , ,, record.
