==Biography==
Boomer was born in Sutton, Massachusetts on July 26, 1832. He attended Worcester Academy and graduated in 1847. Because of poor eyesight, Boomer did not go on to college. Instead, he joined his brother-in-law in building bridges across the Mississippi River.〔Jackson, Robert Wendell. ''Rails across the Mississippi: a history of the St. Louis bridge''. Urbana, IL: University of Illinois Press, 2001. ISBN 978-0-252-02680-5.〕
At the outbreak of the Civil War, he raised a company for the Union Army which became part of the 26th Missouri Volunteer Infantry Regiment and by 1863 was promoted to colonel. He distinguished himself at Vicksburg as brigade commander under Major General James B. McPherson.
