Carter, born 1819 in Elizabethtown, earned ranks in both navy and army and led brigades in Civil War campaigns before a late career as admiral and diplomat. Benjamin, Benjamin’s immigrant life, from Yale to Louisiana politics, Union and Confederate service, and later state and federal roles, marks a remarkable arc. James Shields, Irish-born, served as senator for Illinois and Minnesota, commanded troops in Mexican and Civil wars, and endured political and personal hardship before final years.
