Lew Wallace Archive - By Roger C. AdamsLew Wallace:Soldier, Statesman & Scholar    Lewis "Lew" Wallace (1827-1905) was born in Brookville, Indiana, onApril 10, 1827, to David and Esther French Test Wallace. David Wallace was an attorney who was electedgovernor of Indiana early in Lew's childhood. At the outbreak of the Mexican War, Wallace helped raise a company ofvolunteers for the service and was elected 1st lieutanant of the 1st IndianaInfantry. After the war, he was admitted to the bar in 1849, but never caredmuch for the life of a lawyer. In 1852, he married Susan Arnold Elston a Crawfordsville native and successfulauthor in her own right. Following in his father's footsteps, Lew was elected tothe Indiana senate in 1856, and moved from Covington toCrawfordsville,where he made his home for the rest of his life.Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War, Wallace served as adjutantgeneral of Indiana. He requested a field command and received a commission ascolonel of the 11thIndiana Infantry (a Zouave regiment) from Governor Oliver P. Morton. Wallace quickly rose to the rank of brigadier general and tookpart in the capture of FortDonelson. At Shiloh, Wallace and hisdivision became "lost" due to unclear orders from Ulysses Grantand their anticipated attack on the Confederate line did not come on thefirst day. Shiloh was thebloodiest battle yet of the Civil War and Grant, under pressure fromHenry Halleck and the public, needed someone toblame. Wallace took the brunt of Grant's anger and soon found himself without acommand.In the summer of 1862, Wallace was asked by Governor Morton to return to Kentuckyto take command of hastily orgainzed troops there to repel a Confederateinvasion. He was relieved of command again (for political reasons) shortlybefore the disastrous battle of Richmond,Kentucky. Things were in great disarray in Kentucky, and Wallace foundhimself in command of all Federal forces in the defenses of Cincinnati. There he organized thousands of new recruits against a small Rebel force under Henry Heth. Theattack never came and Wallace was hailed as the "Savior of Cincinnati." However,he was again without a command.In the summer of 1864, Rebels under JubalEarly weretrying to attackWashington. Wallace was called upon again, and by fighting a delaying action atMonocacy, Grant was able tosendreinforcements to save Washington. Wallaceserved as a member of the military commission which tried the Lincolnassassination conspirators and he was president of the court-martialboard which condemned Henry Wirz (the Commandant of Andersonville Prison).After the Civil War, Wallace served as governor of the New Mexico Territory, 1878-1881, (where hemet Billythe Kid) and as U.S. Minister to Turkey, 1881-1885. His greatestachievements may have been his literary pursuits. His novel, Ben-Hur: A Taleof the Christ (1880) has never been out of print and has been filmed threetimes.Lew Wallace died in Crawfordsville, Indiana, on February 15, 1905, and wasburied in OakHill Cemetery. The state of Indiana honored Wallace in 1910 with astatuein the U.S. Capitol.
