Maxwell Van Zandt Woodhull, U.S. Army

From Wikipedia.

Was a Union officer during the Civil War.  Entered the U.S. Army in 1862 as a captain.

He was the son of Union naval officer Maxwell Woodhull who commanded the USS Cimarron and later died in an accidental discharge of a Union cannon.

Maxwell Van Zandt Woodhull received a brevet to brigadier general on March 13, 1865.

He was largely responsible for bringing George Washington University to its present site in Washington, D.C..  There is a memorial flagpole at Arlington National Cemetery which he had erected in his father's memory.

I wrote a lot about his father in my Running the Blockade: Civil War Naval blog.
