Rufus King (general)
Rufus King (January 26 or July 26, 1814〔Eicher, p. 333, cites the July date; Warner, p. 269, January.〕 – October 13, 1876) was a newspaper editor, educator, U.S. diplomat, and a Union brigadier general in the American Civil War.〔(Rufus King, Wisconsin Historical Society )〕
==Early life==
King was born in New York City, New York, the grandson of Rufus King, delegate for Massachusetts to the Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention. After graduation from Columbia College, where his father, Charles King, served as president, King enrolled in the United States Military Academy at West Point. King graduated near the top of his class, and was appointed to the engineer corps in 1833. He resigned his commission in 1836. He was appointed adjutant general of the New York state militia in 1839 by Governor William H. Seward and held this post until 1843.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rufus King )〕
After a short time with the New York and Erie Railroad, King served as the associate editor for two newspapers, the ''Albany Evening Journal'' and the ''Albany Advertiser'' (1841–45). At this point, he left New York and moved to the Wisconsin Territory, accomplishing a mixture of politics (member of the 1848 Wisconsin constitutional convention), journalism (part owner of the ''Milwaukee Sentinel and Gazette''), and education (superintendent of schools in Milwaukee and a regent of the University of Wisconsin–Madison). King also organized and played in the first three baseball games played in the state of Wisconsin. The matches were played at the old State Fairgrounds (what is now the Marquette University campus) during the winter of 1859.
