General James Watson Webb was a prominent American diplomat, newspaper publisher, and military officer who lived from 1802 to 1884. He was born in Claverack, New York, and attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, graduating in 1823.
Webb served in the United States Army for several years, including during the Second Seminole War and the Mexican-American War. He also served as a diplomat, representing the United States in Turkey and Brazil.
In addition to his military and diplomatic career, Webb was the founder and publisher of the New York Courier and Enquirer newspaper. He was known for his support of the Whig Party and his opposition to slavery.
During the American Civil War, Webb was appointed by President Abraham Lincoln as a brigadier general and served as chief of staff for General George B. McClellan. He later commanded a division at the Battle of Gettysburg.
After the war, Webb continued to be involved in politics and business, serving as a member of the New York State Assembly and the United States Congress, and as president of the City College of New York.
