[239] Born at Cadiz, Spain, 1815; died, 1872. Graduated at West Point, 1835; fought in Seminole and Mexican Wars; commanded a brigade under McClellan in the Peninsula, where he was wounded; commanded a division at Antietam and Fredericksburg, and a corps at Chancellorsville; superseded Hooker in June, 1863; won the great victory of Gettysburg, July 1, 2, and 3; commanded the Army of the Potomac, under Grant, till the close of the war.

[240] The figures here given are those reached after a careful computation of the entire strength of both armies, with the additions and reductions between the crossing of the Potomac and the beginning of the battle. The exact figures are 93,500, and 75,268, but it is estimated that Lee’s losses by sickness, straggling, and furnishing guards to prisoners before the battle were about five thousand.
