Augustus van Horne Ellis (May 1, 1827 – July 2, 1863) was an American lawyer, sea captain, and soldier. He was a brevet brigadier general in the Union Army during the Civil War, and was killed in action at the Battle of Gettysburg〔Raus, Edmund. ''A Generation on the March: The Union Army at Gettysburg'' (1996). Ellis was brevetted after his death to brigadier to date from Gettysburg.〕 ==Early life and career== A.V.H. Ellis was born in New York City and educated in the city's public schools. He later attended Columbia University. Prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, he was a lawyer in New York City. At some point, he moved to California where he became a tax commissioner and a fireman, and later, a sea captain. Ellis is said to have voyaged to the Kingdom of Hawaii, where he became friends with the king of the islands. Kamehameha III appointed Ellis as the head of the Hawaiian Navy, but when Ellis discovered that the navy had no warships, he returned to California and became captain of a steamship.〔Clark, Champ. ''Gettysburg: Confederate High Tide'' (Time Life Books: 1985) is the source for A.V.H. Ellis's interesting antebellum career.〕
