  • Ulric Dahlgren (April 3, 1842 – March 2, 1864) was a colonel in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was the son of Union Navy Rear Admiral John A. Dahlgren and nephew to Confederate Brigadier General Charles G. Dahlgren. He fought in several key battles in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War and had his leg amputated below the knee after being wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. He returned to military service and was killed in 1864 during the Battle of Walkerton while leading a raid on the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Confederate forces found documents on Dahlgren with orders to free Union prisoners from Belle Isle, burn the city of Richmond and assassinate Confederate President Jefferson Davis and his cabinet. The documents were published in the Richmond newspapers and caused outrage in the South with accusations that the orders came from President Lincoln. Union newspapers claimed the papers were forged and reports of mistreatment of Dahlgren's corpse inflamed public opinion in the North. The controversy became known as the Dahlgren Affair. (en)
  • Ulric Dahlgren, född 1842, stupad i strid 2 maj 1864, var en amerikansk militär. Han var son till amiral John A. Dahlgren och 1863-1864 överste i unionsarmén. Sedan han stupat under en räd mot sydstatshuvudstaden Richmond, Virginia hävdade de konfedererade militärmyndigheterna att de på hans kropp funnit planer på att mörda Jefferson Davis och andra höga sydstatsledare samt sätta eld på staden. Den unge Dahlgren som studerat teknologi och juridik blev 1862 kapten och stabsofficer i Potomacarmén. Som sådan deltog han i andra slaget vid Bull Run, slaget vid Chancellorsville och slaget vid Gettysburg. I en kavalleristrid efter Gettysburg sårades han i foten; såret missköttes och benet fick amputeras nedom knät. Trots sitt handikapp (han gick på kryckor) konstituerades Dahlgren till överste och deltog som chef för en självständig avdelning i räden mot Richmond under högsta befäl av general Judson Kilpatrick. Anklagelserna mot honom utlöste en häftig propagandastrid mellan nord och syd och historikerna är ännu oense om deras sannfärdighet. (sv)
