James H. Trapier

James Heyward Trapier (November 24, 1815 – December 21, 1865) was a career United States Army officer who fought during the Mexican–American War. He also served as a Confederate general during the American Civil War, dying shortly after its conclusion.
==Early life and career==
Trapier was born in 1815 at a plantation called "Windsor" located along the Black River near the city of Georgetown, South Carolina. In 1834 he attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, and graduated four years later standing third out of 45 cadets. P.G.T. Beauregard, whom Trapier would serve under later in life, placed second in this same class. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 1st U.S. Artillery on July 1, 1838. Six days later Trapier transferred to the Engineer Corps, and he was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant on July 1, 1839.〔Eicher, p. 535.〕
In his work for the Engineers, Trapier helped in the construction of defenses on the coastline of the United States. He also served in the Mexican–American War from 1846–1848,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sunsite biography of Trapier )〕 and he would resign his commission on February 28, 1848.〔 After tendering his resignation, Trapier moved back to his plantation in South Carolina and became a planter.〔 He also was active in the South Carolina State Militia, rising to the rank of colonel and serving as the militia's aide-de-camp.〔 As the chief of ordnance of South Carolina, Trapier "ensured that the state was
well-armed."〔
