Notes
General:
At the falls on Otter Creek, Vermont, seven miles from Lake Champlain, is the beautifully situated and picturesque little city of Vergennes. There on the 18th of May, 1798, Ethan Alien Hitchcock, the author and military officer, was horn. His father was Judge Samuel Hitchcock, and his mother was the daughter of Ethan Allen, who was so prominent in the early history of Vermont. Young Hitchcock, after preliminary studies, entered the Military Academy at "West Point, and graduated in 1817. In 1824 he became assistant instructor in tactics in the same institution, and from 1829 to 1833 was commandant of cadets and instructor in infantry tactics. Previous to 1829, except for three years, he served on garrison and recruiting duty. At the outbreak of the Florida War, which grew out of an attempt to remove the Seminole Indians to lands west of the Mississippi, in accordance with a treaty, he volunteered his services, and became acting inspector-general in Gaines' campaign of 1836. The little army of which he was a member, not only experienced the hardships of a contest with a cunning and desperate enemy in a strange country, but suffered from want of food at times. He was subsequently transferred to Indian duty, where in his position as disbursing agent, he was valuable in protecting the Indians against swindlers. During the war with Mexico, Hitchcock served in all of General Scott's battles, and part of the time as inspector-general. For his services in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco he received the brevet of Colonel, and for those rendered in the battle of Molino del Rey he was brevetted Brigadier-General. After the close of the war he crossed the ocean and spent some time in an extended tour through Europe and in the East. In April, 1851, he was appointed Colonel of the 2d Infantry, and was ordered to San Francisco, California, where he commanded the Military Division of the Pacific. In October, 1855, he resigned his commission in consequence of the refusal of Jefferson Davis, then Secretary of War, to confirm a leave of absence granted by General Scott. He afterward resided at St. Louis, devoting himself mainly to literary pursuits, and to certain philosophical investigations in which he had evinced a thoughtful interest for many years. On the breaking out of the late civil war, Mr. Hitchcock offered his services to the Government of the United States. On the 10th of February, 1862, lie was appointed a Major-General of Volunteers. He was then more than three-score years of age and did not take an active part in the campaign. Still he did not shrink from the share which fell to him in those stirring times. He was placed on duty in the War Department, and to these duties were added, in November, those of Commissioner for the exchange of prisoners of war, and Commissary- General of Prisoners. In December of the same year he was commissioned to revise the military laws and regulations. He discharged the various duties of these offices with ability until October, 1867. Mr. Hitchcock was an accomplished officer, and had ever been much interested in the prominent public events relating to the welfare of his country. While taking a more or less active part in them he still found time for pursuits more congenial to the taste of the careful student. As the result of his labors he leaves a name among the authors of America as well as a record among her officers. The first of his works, " The Doctrines of Swedenborg and Spinoza Identified," appeared before the public in 1846. After a silence of eleven years, " Remarks upon Alchemy and the Alchemists " was published in 1857. The succeeding year, 1858, he published " Swedenborg a Hermetic Philosopher." This was followed by a work in two volumes, entitled "Christ the Spirit, being an Attempt to State the Primitive View of Christianity." His other works are, "Red Book of Appin, and other Fairy Tales," " Remarks on the Sonnets of Shakspeare," " Spenser's Colin Clout Explained," and " Notes on the Vita-Nuova of Dante."
Mr. Hitchcock died at Hancock, Georgia, August 5, 1870.
