Caption: General John Curtis Caldwell
Additional Description: Before the war, Caldwell was a school principal, with no military background. After volunteering for service, he was elected Colonel of the 11th Maine. Serving with the Army of the Potomac, Caldwell rose to brigade command in 1862. After the battle of Chancellorsville, he was elevated to Division Command. At Gettysburg, his actions were called into question. Although vindicated, when the Corps was reorganized in early 1864, Caldwell was left without a division.
