Alexander, Edward Porter (1835–1910) Confederate army officer, born in Washington, Georgia. Alexander was the chief signal officer and chief of ordnance under generals
P.G.T. Beauregard,
Joseph E. Johnston, and
Robert E. Lee (1861–62). He coordinated the delivery of ordnance during the
Seven Days',
Second Bull Run, and
Antietam (all 1862) campaigns, and was tactical chief of Gen.
James Longstreet's artillery at
Fredericksburg (1862),
Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg (both 1863). Alexander commanded Lee's guns during the siege of
Petersburg (1864) and the
Appomattox (1865) campaigns and was, as Jefferson Davis noted, among the very few officers “whom Gen. Lee would not give to anybody.”
