Walter Phelps Jr. (Oct 29, 1832–February 20, 1878) was an officer in the Union Army throughout the American Civil War, ending the war as commanding general of the First Iron Brigade. Phelps was born in Hartford Conn., but later moved to Glen Falls New York. The date of his birthday was widely unknown because his records were believed to have been lost in a fire in his native home. But researchers recently found his records, diaries and an Obituary from his death detailing information on him.
