Wells, novelist, d. 1946 Sedgwick, John "Uncle John," General (1813-1864) "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." General John Sedgwick was a corps commander in the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War. At the battle of the Wilderness, while inspecting his troops, he approached a parapet and peered out over the surrounding countryside. His officers and men urged him to take cover from small arms fire, but Sedgwick scoffed at their concerns, "What! What men! This will never do, dodging from single bullets!" Sedgwick's Chief of Staff recorded that shortly thereafter Sedgwick saw another soldier drop to the ground as a sharp-shooter's bullet passed by with a long shrill whistle. Again, Sedgwick repeated his remark about the elephant, and the soldier replied that he'd been dodging bullets all day and that if he hadn't, one of them surely would have taken off his head. Sedgwick replied, laughingly, "All right, my man, go to your place." No sooner had the words left his mouth then the general fell to the ground, blood spurting "in a little fountain" from a hole in his cheek, just under the left eye.
