TREMAIN, Henry Edwin:

Lawyer; born N. Y. City, Nov. 14, 1840; son of Edwin R. Tremain, and a member of a fighting family, being the brother of Lieutenant Walter R. Tremain, who died in the service, and the cousin of Colonel Frank W. and Major Frederick

L. Tremain, both slain in battle near the end of the war. He received his edu- cation at the College of the City of New York, graduating in 1860, and at once be- ginning a course of legal study at Colum- bia College Law School. While he was thus engaged the war broke out, and he immediately (April 17, 1861) enlisted as a private in the New York Seventh Reg- iment, served with it during its first brief campaign, and soon after, in asso- ciation with his brother, recruited a com- pany in New York, and went to the front as first lieutenant in the Second Regi- ment of Fire Zouaves (Seventy-third New York Volunteers), which was at- tached to the famous Excelsior Brigade. He served in the line and as adjutant of this regiment till April, 1862, when, at the siege of Yorktown, he was promoted to the staff of General Nelson Taylor, then commanding the Excelsior Brigade, and as such served during the Peninsu- lar campaign and subsequently under General Pope; taking part in all the prin- cipal engagements before Richmond and in the battles of Pope's campaign, ending with the unfortunate second Bull Run. During the last named battle, while par- ticipating in a charge, he was taken pris- oner, and was forced for a time to endure the inhospitalities of Libby Prison; being one of a number held there as hostages to be executed by lot in case General Pope continued the destruction of Vir- ginia property. Fortunately the cartel for the exchange of prisoners was just then agreed upon, and after a few weeks' confinement Lieutenant Tremain was re- leased on parole, and subsequently ex- changed, promoted captain, and returned to duty as assistant inspector-general on the staff of General Sickles, now in com- mand of his old division (Second Divis- ion of the Third Army Corps). Lieu- tenant Tremain received high commenda- tion for his services in several of the Peninsular engagements, and his gal-

lantry at the second Bull Run battle was warmly praised by his commander. He served in the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, in the latter as major (his commission dating April 25, 1863), his gallantry at Chancellorsville being so notable that he was specially recommended for a brevet; at Gettys- burg he, as chief staff officer of the Third Army Corps, gained great distinc- tion; in 1864 he served as aide to General Butterfield at Chattanooga, took part in the engagements around Dalton and at

Resaca, and was awarded the Congres- sional Medal of Honor for "distinguished conduct" in the latter battle. Later in that year he was, at his special request, assigned to duty with the cavalry corps of the Army of the Potomac, served as aide to Generals Gregg and Crook, and took part in all the cavalry engagements of the Petersburg campaign till the end of the war; was commended by General Crook for gallantry during this cam- paign, brevetted lieutenant-colonel, on General Sheridan's recommendation, at its termination, afterwards brevetted colonel. On Nov. 30, 1865, he was pro- moted brevet brigadier-general of vol- unteers, and sent on duty to South Caro- lina, where he, in April, 1866, resigned from the service, returned to New York and entered upon the practice of the law. He was graduated from Columbia Law School in 1867, having already gained a promising legal business. In 1869 he formed with Colonel Mason W. Tyler the well known legal firm of Tremain & Tyler, more than twenty-five years in active business. He was nominated for judge of the Common Pleas in 1870, but defeated at the polls, his party being in the minority; in 1881 was repeatedly voted for by many members of the Leg- islature in joint convention for the Unit- ed States senatorship. In his law bus- iness he has frequently been employed by the United States government, and has practiced much in the United States Supreme Court. General Tremain has been active as a Republican in every Presidential contest since the war. He has contributed considerably to the press and was one of the founders and editors of the Daily Law Journal; was one of the founders of the Grand Army of the Republic in New York, and served for a number of years as president of the Al- umni of the College of the City of New York. and in 1901 was president of the Ropublican Club of the City of New York.
