having been intimately associated with Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson and other eminent sol- diers of the Army of Northern Virginia, he held the rank of lieutenant-colonel. Aftc- the war he was cashier of the National Val- ley IJank at Staunton, where he remained until 1866. He was that year elected pro- lessor of applied mathematics in Washing- ion College, which was soon to become Washington and Lee University, and where he achieved great success as a teacher, and had the esteem and afifection of Gen. Rob- ert E. Lee, under whom he had so long and faithfully served as a soldier. In 1873 he became principal of the McDonough Insti- tute in Alaryland, and did much to make it one of the foremost high schools of the country. There the last years of his life were spent, devoted to the instruction of youth and at spare times to writing upon subjects connected with engineering and with the Army of Northern Virginia. Among the most faithful, interesting and useful his- tories of the civil war are found to be his articles on "Chancellorsville," "Jackson's Valley Campaign," and "The Army of Northern Virginia in 1862." An introduc- tion to this last work was written by his friend and former adversary in arms, the late John Codman Ropes, the distinguished lawyer and war critic of Boston. It may be said with regard to what Col. .\llan has written upon the subject of the civil war, that his work is history. He also published several engineering brochures, and a num- ber of articles in the magazines and journals cf his time. He married, May 14, 1874, Elizabeth Randolph Preston, daughter of Mrs. Margaret Preston, the well known southern poetess. His wife and five children

survived him. He died September 17, 1889, al McDonough, Maryland.
