The career of General Ives is matched by that of Edward Francis Winslow, who at the age of twenty-seven, was brevetted brigadier-general for gallant service. He was born in Augusta, Maine, and entered the Army at the outbreak of the war as Captain in the 4th Iowa Cavalry, of which he became the Colonel. In Sherman’s march to the sea, he bore an important cavalry command. At the close of the war, he began an equally successful career of railroad construction, and before he retired from business had been president of a number of railroads. Of late years, General Winslow and his wife were prominent figures in the social life of the American colony in Paris.
