Civil War: he enlisted in Company D, Sixth United States Cavalry, August 26, 1861, and participated in the battles of Williamsburg, siege of Yorktown, and all the principal battles of the Army of the Potomac during their term of enlistment. He was captured during McClellan's campaign before Richmond, in 1862, was severely wounded at Savage Station, taken to Libby prison, and thence sent to Fortress Monroe. He remained in the hospital at that point four months, and was discharged on a surgeon's certificate, in October, 1862.
