Rosecrans (1819-1898), an Ohio native and West Point graduate, served in the Civil War as a Union general, commanding the Army of the Cumberland, and was appointed Minister to Mexico, 1868-1869; he later served in the U.S. Congress from California, 1881-1885, and as a businessman there and in Mexico.
