"William Barker Cushing (4 November 1842 – 17 December 1874) was an
officer in the United States Navy, best known for sinking the Confederate
ironclad CSS Albemarle during a daring nighttime raid on October 27,
1864, a feat for which he received the Thanks of Congress. Cushing was
born in Delafield, Wisconsin, and was raised in Fredonia, New York. He was
expelled from the United States Naval Academy for pranks and poor
scholarship. At the outbreak of the American Civil War, however, he pled
his case to United States Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles himself, was
reinstated and went on to acquire a distinguished record, frequently
volunteering for the most hazardous missions. His heroism, good luck and
coolness under fire were legendary. Several biographers have referred to
Cushing as "Lincoln's commando" (though the Boer War-era term was not
known in his time). He saw action during the Battle of Hampton Roads and
at Fort Fisher, among many others. Cushing was promoted to lieutenant in
1862, and to commander in 1872, although many historians believe he
deserved even greater honors. Both of his brothers died in uniform, one
(Alonzo Cushing) in the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, and another while
fighting the Apaches in 1871. Anthony/Brady backmark.
