10-8-1862, Lincoln to Gen. Grant: "I congratulate you and all concerned on your recent battles and victories [Corinth, MS.] How does it all sum up? I especially regret the death of Gen. [Pleasant A.] Hackelman [Hackleman]; and am very anxious to know the condition of Gen. [Richard J.] Oglesby, who is an intimate personal friend." Abraham Lincoln to Ulysses S. Grant, 8 October 1862, CW, 5:453. Ogelsby suffered a chest wound at Corinth, originally thought fatal. He lived the remainder of his life with the bullet inside his body, was elected governor in 1864, 1872 and 1884 and died in 1899 at age 74.
