Edwin Henry Stoughton (June 23, 1838 – December 25, 1868), was appointed a brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War but his appointment expired after it was not confirmed bu the U.S.
Senate.
Four days later, on March 8, 1863, he was captured by Confederate partisan ranger John S.
Mosby while asleep at his headquarters in the Virginia village of Fairfax Court House.
The incident became well known and Stoughton became an object of ridicule as a result.
He was included in a prisoner exchange two months later, but resigned his commission after he was not reappointed as a brigadier general.
