Grenville M. Dodge, ca. 1890
Grenville Mellon Dodge was a Union Army officer on the frontier and a pioneering figure in military intelligence during the Civil War. In May 1866, he resigned from the military and, with the endorsement of Generals Ullyses S. Grant and William Tecumsah Sherman, became the Union Pacific's chief engineer and thus a leading figure in the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.[
