- Q17421719 abstract "William Henry Powell (May 10, 1825 - July 20, 1909) was an American soldier who fought for the Union in the American Civil War. He quickly ascended to higher roles in the cavalry, and received his country's highest award for bravery during combat, the Medal of Honor. Powell's medal was won for his heroism at Sinking Creek, Virginia, when, as leader of a group of 21 men, he captured a 500 man enemy camp, without a single loss of life on November 26, 1862. He was honored with the award on July 22, 1890.In January 1863, Powell was shot while leading cavalry in Wytheville, Virginia. Although surgeons on both sides believed his wound was fatal, Powell survived—and became a prisoner of war. He was later exchanged, and returned to command the 2nd West Virginia Volunteer Cavalry Regiment.In a letter sent to headquarters in 1864, General George Crook said "Colonel Powell has served with me often since the commencement of the war. He has distinguished himself in every battle he was engaged in under me. He has been recommended by me on several occasions, for promotion. I regard him as one of the best cavalry officers I have ever seen in the service." Powell was later promoted to brigadier general, and commanded an entire brigade.".
