"Gustave Paul Cluseret (13 June 1823-1900) was a French soldier and politician who served as a general
in the Union Army during the American Civil War. Cluseret was born in Paris. He was an officer in the
garde mobile during the revolution of 1848. He took part in several expeditions in Algeria, joined Giuseppe
Garibaldi's volunteers in 1860, and in 1861 resigned his commission to take part in the Civil War in
America. He served under Fremont and McClellan, and rose to the rank of brigadier general. Then, joining
a band of Irish adventurers, he went secretly to Ireland, and participated in the Fenian insurrection
(1866-67). He escaped arrest on the collapse of the movement, but was condemned to death in his
absence. He arrived in London just after the Reform League's Hyde Park demonstration in 1867. He met
a dozen members of the Reform League, including John Bedford Leno, in a private room of the "White
Horse" in Rathbone Place. He proposed that they create civil war in England and offered the service of two
thousand sworn members of the Fenian body, and that he would act as their leader. John Bedford Leno
was the first to reply and denounced the proposal, stating that it would surely lead to their "discomfiture
and transportation", and added that the government would surely hear of the plot. During subsequent
speeches Leno noticed that only a matchboard partition divided the room they occupied with another
adjoining room, and that voices could be heard the other side. Leno declared his attention to leave at once,
the others agreed and the room was soon cleared. The next day the meeting was fully reported in the
Times although Leno's speech had been attributed to George Odgers who had in fact been the only
person to support Cluserat's proposal. John Bedford Leno was fully satisfied with the success the Reform
League had met and, being opposed to unnecessary violence, bitterly opposed the interference of
Cluseret, as did most of the other members of the Reform League. Cluseret's "call to arms" was rejected
and he left England for Paris to start his War of the Commune. On his return to France he proclaimed
himself a Socialist, opposed militarism, and became a member of the Association Internationale des
travailleurs, a cosmopolitan Socialist organization, known as the "Internationale." On the proclamation of
the Third Republic in 1871 he set to work to organize the social revolution, first at Lyon and afterwards at
Marseilles. His energy, his oratorical gifts, and his military experience gave him great influence among the
working classes. On the news of the Communard rising of the March 18, 1871 he hastened to Paris, and
on the April 16 was elected a member of the commune. Disagreements with the other leaders of the
Commune led to his arrest on the May 1, on a false charge of betraying the cause. On May 24 the
occupation of Paris by the Versailles troops restored him to liberty, and he succeeded in escaping from
France. He did not return to the country till 1884. In 1888 and 1889 he was returned as a deputy to the
chamber by Toulon. He died in 1900. Cluseret published his Mêmoires (of the Commune) at Paris in
1887-1888." Rare CDV view by De Carajat Paris wearing his Brigadier General's Coat and
French Medals. Rarely seen photo of this elusive Union General. (5/09)
