An Amercian Civil War general. He was also a governor later on. He wrote the best-selling American novel of the 19th century. Ulysees? Nope. He did serve under him though.

The novel in question was made into a major Hollywood movie starring Charlton Heston which went on to win 11 Oscars in 1960 including Best Picture, Best Actor & Best Director. He met Billy the Kid and offered him a pardon while he was governor of New Mexico - Scott Wilson played him in Young Guns II.

It's quite possible he's more well known for these two facts than his military career, it's certainly the case for me.

He met Billy the Kid and offered him a pardon while he was governor of New Mexico - Scott Wilson played him in Young Guns II. Lifted from his Wiki page: X's "most controversial command came at the battle of Shiloh, where he continued as the 3rd Division commander under Maj. Gen. Grant." "At first, the battle was viewed by the North as a victory; however, on April 23, after civilians began hearing news of the high number of casualties, the Lincoln administration asked the Union army for further explanation. Grant, who was accused of poor leadership at Shiloh, and his superior, Halleck, placed the blame on X by asserting that his failure to follow orders and the delay in moving up the reserves on April 6 had nearly cost them the battle." X's "most notable service came on Saturday, July 9, 1864 at the Battle of Monocacy part of the Valley Campaigns of 1864." "On May 19, 1881, X was appointed U.S. Minister to the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul, Turkey). X remained at the diplomatic post until 1885, and became a trusted friend of Sultan Abdul Hamid II" If no one gets him today I'll ask an easier question tomorrow.
