In the years 1867 and '68, he was a member of the Common Coun- cil of the city of Boston, and a member of the Water Board. As rep- resentative from Boston in the Legislature, 1870 and '71, he was ap- pointed chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the leading committee of the House. In the meantime Mr. Train had devoted himself assiduously to his profession, and had acquired a large and lucrative practice. In the annual election of 1871 he was chosen Attorney- General of the Commonwealth, a position which he held by annual election for seven consecutive years, until 1879, when he retired to private life and resumed the practice of his profession.
The following memorial of the Suffolk Bar Association will indicate his standing in the profession :

Biographical Sketches.
" The members of the Bar desire a memorandum to be placed upon the rec- ords of the Supreme Judicial Court in memory of the Honorable Charles R. Train, for four years District Attorney for the Northern Criminal District, and for seven years Attorney General of the Commonwealth, as well as a repre- sentative in the Congress of the United States, who died at Conway, N. H., July 29, 1885.
He was a lawyer eminent in his profession ; and a citizen conspicuous in various walks of life ; upon whom, during a long career, distinguishing marks of confidence were bestowed.
In discharging a closing act of pious duty, his associates are affected by pleasant memories, and gratefully remind the Bar in this place where his presence was so long familiar, not only of the personal traits which endeared him to his brethren, but of the eminent professional qualities which marked his career. They desire to bear witness to his skill, his self-possession, his nice discrimination, especially shown in the trial of causes, his enlarged views, and that natural generosity of disposition and constant good humor which smoothed the rough path of duty, and rendered the ordinary experience of professional life most grateful."
Mr. Train's knowledge of law was extensive; and his success in important trials, and the uniform soundness of his opinions given as counsellor and State's Attorney, give him a high rank in the profession. Perhaps his power as an advocate lay more in the ready perception of the environment and salient points of the case, and the skill with which these points and conditions were made prominent, than in logical reasoning for statutes and precedents. His mind was quick, his fancy bounding, his satire caustic ; and he could turn his oppo- nent's thrust back upon himself with adroitness ; and this fertility of resources and self-possession, together with his knowledge of men, gave him exceptional influence with juries.
The address which he made at the meeting of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, June 17, 1885, though not the best sample of his literary work, is yet so characteristic of the man, and his style of thought, and aptness, that it is given entire. The Hon. Amos A. Lawrence, with a bit of pardonable self-complacency, remarked, that he as a boy was present at the laying of the corner-stone of the monu- ment in 1825, and "sat near to Mr. Webster in front of the old soldiers, among whom sat Lafayette." Mr. Train said :
" Mr. Chairman : - I cannot permit my youthful friend, Mr. Law- rence, to carry off all the honors to be won, by narrating his reminis- cences of sixty years ago. I too was present at the reception accorded to Lafayette. I saw him make his grand entry into Boston, and again at Bunker Hill at the laying of the corner-stone. Everything which I saw I remember ; but I remember nothing that I heard. My father was a patriotic man, a member of this Association; and I well remember his diploma, framed and hanging in the sitting room in my

ancestral home. Patriotic himself, he did what he could to influence his children to love of country, and he brought his sons to Boston to see Lafayette and witness the laying of the corner-stone. Every incident connected with our visit to Boston on that occasion is still fresh in my memory. I was gorgeously arrayed in a green bombazine frock and trousers and ruffled collar. My hat was made of Dunstable braid, nicely plaited by the fingers of my loving mother, and made into a hat by one of our neighbors. [This business of manufacturing straw-braid was then in its infancy, but very soon became an important industry in Framingham, as it is now one of the great industries of the country. Many an hour have I spent in the chimney-corner braiding straw, for which I received three-quarters of a cent a yard, - my stint being two yards in the morning and two in the afternoon. If I did not thus earn money enough to defray the expenses of my education, I received lessons of patience and industry under the watchful eye of a patient mother.] My feet were dressed in bootees from leather tanned and manufactured in Framingham, and shining with black-ball well laid on for the journey ; and so, with the old mare harnessed into the yellow-hulled chaise, my father, brother, and myself travelled to Bos- ton, making the distance of twenty-one miles in four hours. Arrived in Boston, I thought my hat not quite the thing for such an occasion, and my indulgent parent bought me my first cap of John M. Peck, who then kept a famous hat-store at the corner of Cornhill and Wash- ington streets, and my straw hat was consigned to the chaise-box.
" The following morning we went to Roxbury, and near the old Punch-bowl Tavern we first saw Lafayette, my father holding me up in his arms that I might see the procession over the heads of the crowd, -my brother, five years older, being able to take care of himself.
" I can see Lafayette in my mind's eye as distinctly as I saw him then ; and were I gifted with the pencil I could paint a perfect like- ness of him as he appeared in the barouche in which he rode, receiv- ing the honors and congratulations accorded to him by a grateful and enthusiastic people. I wore upon that occasion on my breast a badge of white satin ribbon, on which was printed the likeness of Lafayette, and beneath it the motto, 'Welcome Lafayette !'
"At the laying of the corner-stone of the Monument, I was so near Mr. Webster as to see him distinctly and to hear his voice; and the scene with Mr. Webster upon the platform and Lafayette sitting among the veterans is burned into my memory."
The writer of this sketch was a school-fellow of Mr. Train at the Framingham Academy in 1833. He is remembered as a genial, large- hearted, impulsive boy; sarcastic, transparent ; never attempting to

Biographical Sketches.
conceal his faults ; nourishing no ill-will ; seeking no revenges ; always ready to meet all consequences ; just the boy - as he in after years was just the man - one would most like to have for a friend, or an enemy. As a scholar, he was quick to learn, and had what Watts calls a "ready memory." But this advantage was in reality a dis- advantage, as it relieved him of the necessity of the close application and patient effort, which are so needful in forming habits essential to high success in the learned professions - which habits he found him- self obliged to acquire, at much cost, later in life. He once said to the writer that his appointment as district attorney was the making of him ; for, said he, " I was then obliged to prepare my cases thoroughly, or be flung by some plodding fellow who had looked up all the points in the case."
Mr. Train ever cherished a warm affection for his early home and the schoolmates of his youth; and an hour with them at his office, after the day's work was done, was a joy to both. It can be said with truth that those who knew him best loved him most, and loved him to the last. In his riper years and to the end he retained the vivacity and versatility of his youth, tempered by experience ; he could tell a good story and enjoy a hearty laugh.
Towards the close of life the tenderness of friendly sympathy, and the depth of religious convictions were developed in great beauty and fullness ; and the sweet savor of true manliness and true godliness gives fragrance to his memory.
MAJ .- GENERAL GEORGE HENRY GORDON.
George H. Gordon was born in Charlestown, Mass., July 19, 1823, and died at his home in Framingham, Aug. 30, 1886. When he was five years old, his mother, then a widow, removed to Framingham, for the purpose of educating her two children at the Academy there. During his earlier years at school the boy gave but uncertain prophecy of what the man would be. He was not robust; was timid; was averse to athletic sports, and usually kept his own counsels. But withal, he was impressible as the plastic clay, truthful and conscientious, as a child with a wise and loving mother is apt to be. He was just the boy to go to West Point, and be moulded by the discipline and training of that military school, and be inspired by the high ideals of a soldier's life, and possible triumphs and fame. He was singularly fortunate in his class-mates, among whom were Jesse L. Reno, George B. McClellan, John G. Foster, T. P. (Stonewall) Jackson, George E. Pickett, and A. P. Hill.
He graduated in 1846, and at once began service in the Mexican War; was quickly promoted to the rank of brevet second lieutenant in

the Mounted Rifles ; and was with Gen. Scott all the way from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico; and received a brevet of first lieutenant "for gallant and meritorious conduct in the battle of Cerro Gordo "- in which battle he received his first wound. He took part in the bat- tle of Chapultepec, and the siege and capture of the capital city. He was again severely wounded, while engaged in a hand to hand combat with guerrillas near San Juan bridge, while on escort duty from the capital to Vera Cruz.
From 1851 to 1854, he was on frontier service at Fort Vancouver, on the Columbia river; in the Indian Territory between the Miss- issippi river and the Rocky mountains; and on the United States coast survey. In 1854, he resigned his commission in the army and entered the Harvard Law School, and was admitted to practice in 1857-
In April, 1861, on the breaking out of the Civil War, the old mili- tary spirit returned, and he tendered his services to the State and Nation. The offer was accepted, and he promptly raised, and on May 24th was commissioned Colonel of the Second Massachusetts regiment of Infantry.
His idea and ideal were to form a regiment modelled upon the regular army of the United States, with men enlisted for the war, and officers selected by the colonel commanding ; so that rigid discipline and subordination could mould all into one, and thus engender the esprit de corps which inspires confidence and secures concentrated action in battle.
The sequel showed the wisdom of his plan. The Second Massa- chusetts was looked upon as the model of a well-drilled, thoroughly disciplined and efficient regiment, reliable in all emergencies. It was the first regiment of the kind tendered to the government, and had a potent influence in shaping the after-policy of the President.
Col. Gordon and his regiment served in Patterson's and Banks's campaigns of '61, and in the campaigns of the Shenandoah valley in '62. For some months this year he was in command of a brigade, though with a colonel's commission. He performed his first brilliant exploit by extricating the rear of Gen. Banks's army from confusion, and covering his retreat from Strasburg to Winchester, May 24-5. 1862. With a small force, he turned upon Stonewall Jackson's army, near Newtown, and held it in check from three o'clock in the after- noon till eight in the evening; thus giving Banks time to secure the public stores and provide for a battle or a further retreat. His bravery and skill in this affair led to his appointment as brigadier-general, his commission being handed to him at Washington, June 12.
In Pope's campaign, which followed, Gen. Gordon bore his part ; was engaged in the battles of Cedar Mountain, second Bull Run, and
764
Biographical Sketches.
Chantilly. His bravery and coolness in action were fully tested in the decisive affair at Cedar Mountain, August 8, as was also the value of discipline, and the influence he had acquired over his men. In that short and bloody action, out of a total of 1,500 men in his brigade, Gen. Gordon lost in killed, wounded, and prisoners, 466. The loss in the Second Massachusetts was 174, thirty-five per cent. of all engaged. Out of the whole loss, only 15 were prisoners unwounded.
In September he was transferred to Gen. McClellan's army, and bore an honorable part in the fiercely contested battle of Antietam, Sept. 17, and in the campaign that followed.
In the spring of '63, under Gen. Dix, he commanded a division of U. S. troops in movements in the Peninsula; was next with Gen. Meade in the army of the Potomac. In August he was ordered to Morris Island, S. C., and was for seven months engaged in the siege of Charleston, and reduction of Forts Wagner and Gregg. For much of the time after this, he was stationed where his organizing and execu- tive ability, and capacity for civil administration were needed. In '64 he commanded all the U. S. forces in Florida, and formulated the plan by which that State was restored to the Union. This year he served in the Gulf Department under Gen. Canby ; ascended the Mississippi as far as Memphis. He was in command of the land forces at the capture of the forts in Mobile Bay.
In 1865, Feb. 11, he was assigned to the important command of the District of Eastern Virginia, and made civil and military governor of Norfolk. He was continued in this responsible office, and performed its complicated, difficult, and often delicate duties, to the satisfaction of the President and Secretary of War, till the surrender of Lee, April 9,-on which memorable day he was promoted to be a Brevet Major- General of Volunteers, "for meritorious and distinguished services during the War." But he was not finally relieved of his official posi- tion till after the war was closed by the capture and confinement of Jefferson Davis in Fortress Monroe.
After the war Gen. Gordon re-entered the legal profession, but for a time was United States collector of internal revenue for the seventh Massachusetts district. He was also United States marshal at Boston during the administration of President Andrew Johnson, and for several years president of the Military Historical Society of Massa- chusetts. He was a member of the Union Club of Boston, and of the Massachusetts Commandery of the Loyal Legion. He has been a valuable contributor to our war literature, having written "A History of the Second Mass. Regiment of Infantry," 1874; " History of the Campaign of the Army of Va., under John Pope, Brig .- genl. U. S. A., late Maj .- general U. S. Vols .; from Cedar Mountain to Alexandria," 1880; " A War Diary of Events in the War of the Great Rebellion,
Dixi C. Hoyt, M. D. - Edgar Parker, M. D. 765
1863-5," 1882. In these volumes his individuality stands out strongly. He was, in the best sense, a soldier; and he saw things from the military, not the political standpoint. With a nice sensibility of honor, and a high standard of duty to his country ; open-hearted and conscientious ; a stranger to the arts of duplicity and intrigue ; believ- ing that character and merit make manhood, and that fidelity to duty is nobler than official titles ; he saw men and measures with his own eyes, and weighed them in what he understood to be the scales of truth and justice. His "War Diary " will have great value when the time is come - a half-century hence - to write a true history of the Civil War of 1861-65.
Says one who shared his fortunes during much of the war : " Gen. Gordon was a first class soldier, as a soldier ; but his great service to the Commonwealth was in showing how to organize troops. His regiment was a model for the Massachusetts regiments that followed it, and his influence on the discipline and efficiency of the other regi- ments can hardly be over-estimated. It may not be too much to say, that he contributed more than any one man in the State, to the very high standard of excellence which Massachusetts troops attained. And although severe in discipline, and very strict in exacting all military duties and observances, he was yet very just, and was very much beloved by his men." As a soldier, he was brave, and gallant as he was brave; as a commander, he inspired his troops with patriotic self-devotion, and led their onsets in battle ; as a man, he bore a character unsullied by suspicion and reproach.
