In Memory of General Stevenson

One hundred and fifty years ago today, on May 10, 1864, Brig. Gen. Thomas Greeley Stevenson was killed during the battle of Spotsylvania Court House. Stevenson Ridge takes its name from Gen. Stevenson, who was killed near the property.

"Of all losses of gallant men, whom Massachusetts has been called upon to mourn in this war, no one has caused a greater or more general sorrow than that of General Thomas G. Stevenson," said The Boston Post. "No one will be more universally missed than he."
