DODGE, Grenville M .:

Civil Engineer and major-general, U. S. Volunteers; born Danvers, Mass., April 12, 1831; received training as a boy at Norwich University. When the War of the Rebellion commenced, he having pre- viously organized a militia company at Council Bluffs, hastened to tender him- self to the State government, but not having any arms, Governor Kirkwood sent him to Washington, and by his en- ergy and zeal obtained what the members of Congress could not get for the State -arms and ammunition. It was Dodge's regiment that first entered the city at the battle of Springfield, and at Pea Ridge his brigade saved Curtis's army from disaster, although he was there wounded and had three horses killed and a fourth wounded under him; Colonel Dodge was then promoted brigadier-gen- eral, and, after recovering his

from wounds, was assigned to duty at Colum- bus, Ky., with the task set before him of rebuilding the Mobile & Ohio R. R. He built all railroads needed in his de- partment, and those that could be of use to the enemy he destroyed; he in- tercepted and defeated all raiding parties and almost effectively put a stop to guer- illa warfare. About this time President Lincoln called him to Washington to con- sult about the construction of the Union Pacific R. R. When Vicksburg fell, Grant recommended Dodge for important promotion in recognition of his services;

then Grant succeeded Rosecrans, and he sent for Dodge for one of his fighting generals, but before he reached him he ordered him to halt and rebuild the rail- road from Decatur to Nashville; this he did in forty days. Since the war his ca- reer has been one of great business and political importance; he was elected to Congress over a rival possessed of many and varied accomplishments, and on go- ing to Washington was recognized as an authority on all great national ques- tions; his important duties in connection with the completion of the Union Pacific R. R .- a directorship and the executive position he held in that great corporation -led him to decline election to Congress; appointed, 1898, president of the Presi- dent's commission to inquire into the management of war with Spain; chair- man of board of directors of Colorado & Southern Ry .; director of Fort Worth & Denver City R. R., also of Bowling Green Trust Co. Address, 1 Bowling Green, N. Y. City.
