Sailor's Creek hero Baker rests with blue and gray
Col. Baker, cousin of Sir Samuel Baker and Col. Valentine Baker, served as Massachusetts cavalry commander in the Civil War and formed a fine regiment. His faithful Newfoundland dog kept vigil at his bedside as he died in North Carolina. A joint British and American funeral with Union and Confederate veterans honored the two continents’ soldier.
