General William Sooy Smith a Civil War Hero at Ohio University
Athens hosts General William Sooy Smith and his son for a glimpse of Ohio University legacy. A graduate of Ohio University in 1849 and West Point in 1853, Smith led troops at Shiloh, advanced cavalry tactics with Grierson, and engineered major river crossings. After resigning due to rheumatism, he returned to civil engineering, building bridges across the Mississippi and Missouri, the Ohio, Savannah, Susquehanna, and Schuylkill, with notable projects including a Hudson tunnel and the Mackinac lighthouse access.
