Medical student turned professional soldier, David S. Stanley
offered forty years of service to his country on the western
frontier and during the Civil War. He participated in some of most
important Civil War battles, including, the Battle of Iuka, Battle
of Corinth, Battle of Stones Rivers, Battle of Resaca, Battle of
Spring Hill, and the Battle of Franklin. He was awarded the Medal
of Honor for his actions at Franklin where he was shot while
rallying his troops. A brave and professional soldier, Stanley was
a complex individual exhibiting concern for his soldiers and
showing ferocity in battle. As Rosecrans' Chief of Cavalry, he
deserves much credit for making the Union cavalry an important and
formidable power in the Western Theater. He also commanded the IV
Army Corps at the end of the war, all the while, a convert to Roman
Catholicism, greatly influenced by his religious beliefs. Stanley
was a formidable adversary of his enemies and he clashed with
William T. Sherman, Jacob Cox and William B. Hazen. His own battle
with alcohol makes him one of the more interesting generals of the
Civil War era.
