Civil War Confederate Brigadier General. An 1857 graduate of West Point, he graduated 35th in his class, then served at a New York state garrison and at Fort Walla Walla in Washington Territory as a lieutenant of infantry. At the time of the secession crisis, he accepted a commission as a Confederate lieutenant of artillery and was listed as "absent without leave" from the United States Army until May 17, 1861, when his resignation was received. Promoted to Major September 1861, he assumed the administrative post of assistant adjutant general to William Henry Talbot Walker, Major General of Georgia state troops, commanding on the Georgia coast. In January 1863 he was transferred to line duty but not beore finally seeing action in coastal Georgia at Fort McAllister, where he helped repel assaults by Federal ironclads testing the strength of the Confederate works. His transfer came with a promotion to Colonel of the 5th Georgia Cavalry, which was now serving in the Army of Tennessee. A few months later, he was raised to brigade command and made Brigadier General on July 26, 1864. He took part in all of the operations in the Atlanta Campaign. During a raid near Franklin, Tenneessee, Brigadier General John H. Kelly, a division commander, was killed and he was temporarily placed in divisional command. Following the fall of Atlanta and his reversion to brigade command, he fought on through the March to the Sea and the Carolinas Campaign and was surrendered with the rest of the army by General Joseph E. Johnston. After the war, he returned to Savannah and was that city's chief of police from 1867 until his death.

Civil War Union Brigadier General. He was a long-time career United States Army officer who is best remembered in history as being in command of Fort Sumter, Charleston, South Carolina when Confederates bombarded it on April 12, 1861, starting the Civil War. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York in 1825, he placed 15th of 37, and his classmates included future Union Generals Charles F. Smith and William R. Montgomery, as well as future Confederate Generals Daniel S. Donelson and Benjamin Huger. His subsequent service was spent mostly in the artillery arm, which he fought in during the Black Hawk War, the various Seminole Wars in Florida, and in the Mexican War (he would receive two brevets for gallantry there). Promoted to Major in 1857, he was placed in command of the forts in Charleston Harbor in November 1860. In April 1861, after a number of Southern states had formed the Confederate States of America, he was presented with a formal surrender demands by Confederate authorities in Charleston, which he refused. After 34 hours of constant shelling, he would capitulate, but not before he saluted the flag with a 50-gun salute. The rebel bombardment and his defense of the Fort constituted the true beginning of the Civil War, and the commander of the Confederate forces that shelled the Fort, General P.G.T. Beauregard, had been taught and mentored by Robert Anderson at West Point. Promoted to Brigadier General after his exchange, his successive Civil War service was brief. General Anderson commanded forces in his native Kentucky for a time, fell ill, and was retired in 1863. When the South surrendered in 1865, General Anderson was detailed to raise the American flag over Fort Sumter exactly four years after he was forced to surrender it. He received the brevet of Major General, US Regular Army in April 1865.
