Born in Germany in 1828, future Union general August Valentine
Kautz came to America as an infant. He was privileged to obtain
schooling and, after service in the war with Mexico, attended West
Point. Relying heavily on detailed journals kept by Kautz for 43
years, this biography covers his early experiences and his time in
the turbulent Pacific Northwest, where he was involved in Indian
affairs and the Rogue River War. As with so many American military
men of the time, however, the defining event in his career was the
Civil War. Originally assigned to the Western Theater, where he
played a role in the capture of Morgan's Raiders, Kautz's service
included participation in the First Battle of Deep Bottom, the
Wilson-Kautz Raid, and the Petersburg assault aimed at capturing
Richmond. Kautz has often been misrepresented in historical
mentions and this biography seeks to set the record straight.
Period photographs and a number of maps are included.
