Stevens sends General Horatio Wright General Bernard's anecdote [not here present] "told twelve years ago at a dinner for General Mitchell at Inverness in Scotland.."
Born in Barnet, Vermont, Simon Stevens [1825-1894] passed the bar in 1844. He moved to New York in 1860 and became renowned as a corporation adviser in riparian water rights. He later became president of Mexico's Tehuantepec Railroad. He was the brother of bookmen Henry and Benjamin Stevens.
Horatio Gouverneur Wright [1820-1899] was an engineer and general in the Union Army during the American Civil War. After the war he was involved in a number of engineering projects, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the completion of the Washington Monument. Very good .
