  • William Starke Rosecrans war ein General der Unionsarmee im Sezessionskrieg. Er erhielt seine militärische Ausbildung an der Militärakademie in West Point und trat 1841 als Leutnant in das Geniekorps ein, ließ sich aber 1853 als Zivilingenieur in Cincinnati nieder, wo er sich an industriellen Unternehmungen beteiligte. 1861 zum Kommandeur eines Ohioregiments ernannt, begleitete er George B. McClellan im Sezessionskrieg nach West Virginia, wo er sich gleich bei den ersten Operationen auszeichnete. In der Schlacht am Rich Mountain (11. Juli 1861) eroberte er mit vier Regimentern die feindlichen Verschanzungen und wurde dafür zum Brigadegeneral befördert. Als Oberbefehlshaber der Armee von West Virginia schlug er am 10. September die sezessionistischen Generale Floyd und Wise bei den Kampfhandlungen im Kanawha-Tal und behauptete sich während des Winters in West Virginia. Im Juli 1862 an Hallecks Stelle mit dem Kommando des Militärbezirks Mississippi betraut, schlug er am 3. Januar 1863 die in Murfreesboro stehende Hauptarmee der Konföderierten unter Braxton Bragg, erlitt aber bei der Schlacht am Chickamauga am 19. und 20. September eine Niederlage, infolge derer er nach Chattanooga ausweichen musste, wo er im Oktober durch General Thomas als Oberbefehlshaber der Cumberland-Armee abgelöst wurde. 1864 zum Chef des Missouridepartements ernannt, schied er 1866 gänzlich aus der Armee, wurde 1868 von Präsident Andrew Johnson zum Gesandten in Mexiko ernannt, aber von Ulysses S. Grant bald wieder abberufen. Er betätigte sich wieder als Zivilingenieur in Mexiko und Kalifornien und war von 1881 bis 1885 Kongressabgeordneter. Er starb 1898 auf Rancho Sausal Redondo, Redondo Beach, Kalifornien.
  • William Starke Rosecrans, nacido el 6 de septiembre de 1819 en el condado de Delaware, y fallecido el 11 de marzo de 1898 en Redondo Beach fue un inventor, ejecutivo de empresas petrolíferas, diplomático, político y militar estadounidense. Obtuvo su renombre como general del Ejército federal durante la Guerra Civil Estadounidense. Como tal, fue vencedor en varias importantes batallas, como la Segunda Batalla de Corinto, Stones River, y la batalla de Hoover's Gap, pero su carrera militar tocó a su fin tras su desastrosa derrota en la batalla de Chickamauga en 1863.
  • William Starke Rosecrans oli keksijä, öljy-yhtiön johtaja, diplomaatti, poliitikko, Yhdysvaltain armeijan upseeri ja Unionin kenraali Yhdysvaltain sisällissodassa. Rosecrans syntyi Little Taylor Runissa Delawaren piirikunnassa Ohiossa. Hän valmistui West Pointista 1842. Ennen sisällissotaa hän oli öljy-yhtiön johtaja ja 1859 paloi pahoin öljylampun räjähdettyä. Hän toipui vammoistaan juuri kun sisällissota alkoi, ja hän liittyi Unionin armeijaan George B. McClellanin kenttäadjuntattina, ja kohosi pian 23. jalkaväkirykmentin komentajaksi. Hänet ylennettiin sodan alussa prikaatinkenraaliksi ja myöhemmin kenraalimajuriksi. Rosecrans sai komentoonsa Unionin Mississippin armeijan vasemman sivustan toukokuussa 1862. Hän saavutti mainetta kenraalina, ja voitti useita taisteluita läntisellä taistelunäyttämöllä, kuten toisen Corinthin taistelun, jossa hän saavutti verisen voiton Konfederaation kenraali Earl Van Dornista, Stones Riverin taistelun ja Tullahoma-sotaretken. Hänen sotilasuransa päättyi Chickamaugan taisteluun 1863, jossa hän kärsi tappion ja vetäytyi Chattanoogaan, jonne Braxton Braggin Tennesseen armeija piiritti hänet. Tämän jälkeen Ulysses S. Grant siirsi hänet pois komennosta. Hän siirtyi Missouriin, jossa taisteli Sterling Priceä vastaan tämän ryöstöretkellä. Sodan jälkeen hän palveli ministerinä Meksikossa ja Ohion kuvernöörinä 1869. Rosecrans kuoli Redondo Beachissä Kaliforniassa ja on haudattu Arlingtonin sotilashautausmaahan.

  • William Starke Rosecrans was een Amerikaans generaal die tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog de Army of the Cumberland tussen 1862 en 1863 aanvoerde. Hij kreeg van zijn troepen de bijnaam Old Rosy. Rosecrans studeerde in 1842 af aan de militaire academy van West Point en diende tot 1854 als ingenieur en instructeur aan West Point. Na het uitbreken van de Burgeroorlog in 1861 meldde Rosecrans zich opnieuw aan bij het leger als assistent van generaal George McClellan met de rang van kolonel. In 1862 nam hij deel aan het Beleg van Corinth aan de zijde van generaal Henry Halleck en later vocht hij ook bij de slag om dezelfde plaats. Ondanks verwijten van Ulysses Grant dat hij te voorzichtig was bij het achtervolgen van de vijand kreeg Rosecrans in 1862 het bevel over het Army of the Cumberland met de rang van generaal-majoor. Rosecrans vocht vervolgens bij de Slag bij Stones River en de Slag bij Chickamauga. Deze laatste slag verliep echter desastreus voor Rosecrans en korte tijd later werd Rosecrans door Grant ontheven uit zijn positie als bevelhebber van het Army of the Cumberland waarna hij geen grote rol meer zou spelen in de oorlog. Na de oorlog was hij kortstondig ambassadeur in Mexico vooraleer werkzaam te zijn als ingenieur in de mijnbouw. Tussen 1881 en 1885 was hij tevens lid van het Huis van Afgevaardigden. William Rosecrans overleed op 78-jarige leeftijd in 1898 en werd begraven op het Arlington National Cemetery nabij Washington D.C..
  • William Rosecrans var en oppfinner, diplomat, politiker og offiser i United States Army. Rosecrans ble godt kjent for sin rolle som general under den amerikanske borgerkrigen. Hans militære karriere ble raskt avsluttet etter hans katastrofale nederlag i slaget ved Chickamauga i 1863. Rosecrans hadde liten formell utdannelse, og ble hovedsakelig utdannet ved å lese bøker. Fordi han ikke hadde råd til college begynte han ved US Military Academy. Han ble intervjuet av kongress-medlem Alexander Harper, som hadde tenkt å reservere utnevnelsen til sin egen sønn, men han ble så imponert av Rosecrans at han nominerte ham i stedet. Til tross for hans mangel på formell utdannelse, utmerket Rosecrans seg ved West Point, spesielt i matematikk, men også i grammatikk og språk. Han ble uteksaminert fra West Point i 1842. Da borgerkrigen brøt ut, oppnådde Rosecrans tidlig suksess i Vest-Virginia. I 1862 sto han under kommando av generalmajor Ulysses S. Grant. Hans frittalende måte å krangle åpenlyst med overordnede forårsaket en profesjonell rivalisering med Grant og det påvirket hans videre karriere. Etter borgerkrigen hadde Rosecrans forskjellige diplomatiske og politiske posisjoner og i 1881 ble valgt til Kongressen, som representant for delstaten California. Rosecrans giftet seg den 24. august 1843 og fikk 8 barn.

  • William Starke Rosecrans (September 6, 1819 – March 11, 1898) was an inventor, coal-oil company executive, diplomat, politician, and United States Army officer. He gained fame for his role as a Union general during the American Civil War. He was the victor at prominent Western Theater battles, but his military career was effectively ended following his disastrous defeat at the Battle of Chickamauga in 1863. Rosecrans was a graduate of West Point who served as a professor at the academy and in engineering assignments before leaving the Army to pursue a career in civil engineering. At the start of the Civil War, leading troops from Ohio, he achieved early combat success in western Virginia. In 1862 in the Western Theater, he won the battles of Iuka and Corinth while under the command of Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant. His brusque, outspoken manner and willingness to quarrel openly with superiors caused a professional rivalry with Grant that would adversely affect Rosecrans's career. Given command of the Army of the Cumberland, he fought against Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg at Stones River, and later outmaneuvered him in the brilliant Tullahoma Campaign, driving the Confederates from Middle Tennessee. His strategic movements then caused Bragg to abandon the critical city of Chattanooga, but Rosecrans's pursuit of Bragg ended during the bloody Battle of Chickamauga, where his unfortunately worded order mistakenly opened a gap in the Union line and Rosecrans and a third of his army were swept from the field. Besieged in Chattanooga, Rosecrans was relieved of command by Grant. Following his humiliating defeat, Rosecrans was reassigned to command the Department of Missouri, where he opposed Price's Raid. He was briefly considered as a vice presidential running mate for Abraham Lincoln in 1864. After the war he served in diplomatic and appointed political positions and in 1881 was elected to Congress, representing California.

  • Whether he did or did not know that Thomas still held the field, it was a catastrophe that Rosecrans did not himself ride to Thomas, and send Garfield to Chattanooga. Had he gone to the front in person and shown himself to his men, as at Stone River, he might by his personal presence have plucked victory from disaster, although it is doubtful whether he could have done more than Thomas did. Rosecrans, however, rode to Chattanooga instead.
  • It lives in the memory of every soldier who fought that day how his General plunged into the thickest of the conflict, fought like a private soldier, dealt sturdy blows with the flat of his sword on the runaways, and fairly drove them to stand. Then came a quick rally which his magnificent bearing inspired, a storm of grape from the batteries tore its way through the Rebel ranks, reinforcements which Rosecrans sent flying gave impetus to the National advance, and the charging column was speedily swept back outside the entrenchments.
  • E. Lee's Western Virginia campaign, after its plain failure, was virtually abandoned by the Government. Rosecrans was esteemed in the South as one of the best generals the North had in the field. He was declared by military critics, who could not be accused of partiality, to have clearly outgeneraled Lee, who made the entire object of his campaign to "surround the Dutch General."
  • If it was the object of the enemy to make their way into Kentucky, they were defeated in that; if to hold their position until Van Dorn could come up on the southwest of Corinth and make a simultaneous attack, they were defeated in that. Our only defeat was in not capturing the enemy army or destroying it as I had hoped to do. It was a part of General Hamilton's command that did the fighting, directed entirely by that cool and deserving officer.
  • When disaster had enveloped half the army, and from that time to the end, Rosecrans was magnificent. Rising superior to the disaster that in a single moment had annihilated his carefully prepared plans, he grasped in his single hands the fortunes of the day. He stemmed the tide of retreat, hurried brigades and divisions to the point of danger, massed artillery, infused into them his own dauntless spirit, and out of defeat itself, fashioned the weapons of victory. As at Rich Mountain, Iuka and Corinth, it was his personal presence that magnetized his plans into success.
  • I cannot speak too highly of the energy and skill displayed by General Rosecrans in the attack, and of the endurance of the troops under him. General Ord's command showed untiring zeal, but the direction taken by the enemy prevented them from taking the active part they desired.
  • He was the first colonel of the regiment to which I belonged, my boyhood ideal of a great soldier, and I gladly pay him tribute.
