GENERAL GRENVILLE MELLEN DODGE
construction of the Mississippi and Ohio
railroad. He was one of the first men
to organize regiments of colored troops,
and during the Vicksburg campaign he
made frequent raids into the enemy's
country and indirectly protected the
tanks Of both Grant and Rosecrans.
General Grant had a very high opin-
ion Of his services and placed his name
at the head Of his list of officers recon-
mended for promotion. Brave and meIi-
torious conduct at the battles of Sugar
Valley and Resaca caused his promotion
to major general in June, 1864. In
Sherman Is Georgia campaign Dodge led
the Sixteenth corps, and at Atlanta July
%, backed BY IL regiments, he with
stood the attack of General Hoods en-
tire army corps. On Aug 10, at the seige
of Atlanta, he was so severely wounded
that he was incapacitated from service.
In December he succeeded Rosecrans as
commander of the department of Mis-
souri,. In 500 he left the army, and the
Union Pacific railroad was built under
his supervision. He served one term in
congress and succeeded General Sher-
man as president of the Society Of the
Army of the Tennessee when Sherman
died.
