Gustavus Woodson Smith (1822–1896)

Gustavus Woodson Smith (November 30, 1821 – June 24, 1896), more commonly known as G.W. Smith, was a career U.S. Army officer who fought in the Mexican-American War, a civil engineer, and a major general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He served as interim Confederate States Secretary of War and he fought in the Battle of Seven Pines near Richmond, Virginia. He briefly took command of what would become "The Army of Northern Virginia" after Joseph Johnston was wounded. However, he suffered a nervous breakdown upon taking command and was quickly removed and was replaced by Robert E. Lee.

Smith was born in Georgetown, Kentucky. He died in New York City and is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery, New London, Connecticut.
