Franklin, William Buel (1823–1903) Union Army officer and military engineer, born in York, Pennsylvania. Franklin saw creditable action at
First Bull Run (1861), in the
Peninsular campaign (1862), and at
Antietam (1862), but is remembered mainly for his part in the failure at
Fredericksburg (1862). Earlier in his military career, while in the Corps of Topographical Engineers, Franklin had participated in expeditions to survey the Great Lakes and to analyze routes to California. After service in the
Mexican War (1846–48), he oversaw several engineering projects in Washington, including construction of the dome of the Capitol.
