Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Wadsworth, William 1732-1833 (search)
Wadsworth, William 1732-1833 Military officer; born in Durham, Conn., in 1732; was an early settler, with his brother James, in western New York; and when the War of 1812-15 broke out he was a brigadier-general of New York militia. He served in that war from June 15 to Nov. 12, 1812, and was distinguished in the assault on Queenston Heights (Oct. 13, 1812), where he was in command when the Americans surrendered, giving up his sword in person to General Sheaffe. He died in Geneseo, N. Y., in February, 1833.

The former was struck by Ewell's corps, and the latter. by Hill's a little later. The march was suspended. Crawford was withdrawn, and Griffin, reinforced by Wadsworth's division, with Robinson's in support, soon defeated the advance of Ewell; but, being continually reinforced, the Confederates soon defeated the Nationals. Iten. Just before 5 A. M. Ewell attacked the National right, and was repulsed. A very little later Hancock advanced his force against the Confederate right; while Wadsworth, who had prepared to strike Hill's left the night before, assailed him heavily. The Confederates were driven back a mile and a half, passing Lee's headquarters results on either side, and with a mutually heavy loss. In the two days the Nationals lost about 18,000 men, of whom 6,000 were made prisoners. Generals Hays, Wadsworth, and Webb were killed. The Confederate loss was probably about 11,000. Generals Jones, Pickett, and Jenkins were killed. Longstreet's wounds disabled him for s

as unwilling to go abroad, if he could not mingle in society. He does not take as lively an interest as you do in scenery, in Nature, and in green fields. It is understood that Webster will resign his office in a few days, if he has not done it already. A few days since, in New York, I saw Harvey, who seems to be growing stronger; and Sedgwick is in Boston, to take a farewell of his mother and sister, who sail in the steamer to-day. In this same steamer are Thomas Appleton and William Wadsworth, bound for Spain. Peel's speech in reply to Palmerston has given very great satisfaction here; and it seems to put a more agreeable face upon the affair. Ever and ever yours, Charles Sumner. To John Jay, New York. Boston, May 25, 1843. my dear Sir,—It was only this morning that I learned from Longfellow that I was indebted to you for the most interesting pamphlet on Caste and Slavery in the Church, which I had the honor of receiving some days ago, marked From the author.

y have, of course, infinitely better voices, but hang me if they sing with half the enthusiasm and fire of our old Sam and Cousi, or even of poor Dudy. Grisi's voice is beautifully clear and flute-like — Mario sings si-be-mol and natural with perfect ease. I was most interested in the German Standigl, who sang the Wanderer with wonderful pathos. Lablache thundered away — I must see them on the stage before I shall be able to judge of them. After music we had supper. Willie Wad William Wadsworth, of Geneseo. was indefatigable in our service. Go, and bring us a great deal more lemonade! these were our oftrepeated orders, and the good Geneseo trotted to the table for us, till, as he expressed it, he was ashamed to go any more. Lansdowne is a devilish good fellow! ho! ho! He wears a blue belt across his diaphragm, and a silver star on his left breast — he jigs up and down the room, and makes himself at home in his own house. He is about sixty, with Marchioness to match; sid<
