VAN DORN, EARL (182o-1863)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 887 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VAN DORN, EARL (182o-1863) , American soldier, was born near
Vicksburg
  in 182o, and entered the army of the United States from West Point in 1842. For several years previous to the Mexican War he was employed in garrison duty, but in that war he saw a good deal of active service, distinguishing himself at Cerro Gordo and Churubusco, returning to the United States a brevet-major. He also fought in the Seminole War and in 1858 against the Comanches. When his state seceded in 186r he resigned his commission in the U.S. army, and in the September of that year became major-general C.S.A. He commanded the Confederates in the hard-fought
battle
  of Pea
Ridge
 , but was superseded for failing to win it. Later in 1862 he won promotion and a second independent command in the West, and led the Confederates at the
battle
  of
Corinth
  (the 3rd and 4th of October 1862) at which he came very near to success. In spite of the
verdict
  of a
court
  of inquiry, he was again superseded. As a subordinate of Lieut.-General Pemberton he did splendid service to the Confederate cause in defeating Grant's first advance on
Vicksburg
  at Holly Springs (1862). He was shot in a private quarrel on the 8th of May 1863.
