Augustus G. Weissert
Augustus Gordon Weissert (August 7, 1844 – April 24, 1923) was an American soldier who served in the Union Army during the American Civil War and as the 21st Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic (1892–1893).
==Early life and military career==
Weissert was born August 7, 1844, in Canton, Ohio to Michael and Magdalene (Bernard) Weissert. His family moved to Racine, Wisconsin when he was a young boy. Weissert attended the University of Michigan where he pursued a degree in law and graduated with a Bachelor of Laws. He then moved to New York in 1860 to continue the study of law, but returned to Wisconsin when the Civil War began.
He enlisted September 10, 1861, at age 17, as a private in Company K, 8th Wisconsin Infantry; he had previously attempted to enlist, but was rejected due to his age. Weissert was promoted to sergeant major, September 3, 1864. At the Battle of Nashville, Weissert was wounded by a musket ball in the leg just above the knee. Although he recovered from his wound, it remained an open wound for many years and the bullet was never removed. Weissert received a brevet promotion to captain dated to June 6, 1864 for "conspicuous bravery during the Red River expedition and for gallantry at Lake Chicot, Arkansas, June 6, 1864, and at Nashville, December 15th." He was subsequently offered an appointment to the United States Military Academy, but he declined due to his wound. Weissert mustered out September 17, 1865, with the regiment and returned to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he continued to study law under Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice William P. Lyon.
