Daniel Edgar Sickles
No full textA native of New York City, Sickles was a member of Congress when he shot and killed Philip Barton Key, the son of Francis Scott Key the composer of The Star Spangled Banner. The younger Key had been having an affair with Sickle’s wife. A judge acquitted Sickles after he declared in court that he had forgiven his wife for her indiscretion.

Dan Sickles: disregarded hero of the Battle of Gettysburg
Get PDFDan Sickles has been regarded by many historians as a political general who was a buffoon and led his troops into harm’s way at Gettysburg for personal glory. This paper examines Sickles’ early personal history, why that history has led historians to examine Sickles in a critical fashion with a historical lens, and why Sickles has been disregarded as the true hero of Gettysburg.
Sickles was a lover of women causing him to perhaps have an affair with his mother-in-law, visit prostitutes, introduce one prostitute to the Queen of England, and ultimate to murder his wife’s lover in a rage that allowed him to be acquitted on an insanity defense. Sickles entered the Civil War looking to redeem his reputation and develop a military hero role for himself. Gettysburg would allow him the opportunity for that role, but events and his own future behaviors would prevent historians to view him in the role of hero.
General Daniel Sickles has largely been criticized for his positioning of his troops on Day Two of the Battle of Gettysburg. However careful review of his personal history, his military experience prior to Gettysburg and his actions during the battle are all consistent with a general who correctly interpreted the situation and moved to prevent a Union defeat at Gettysburg. This paper will examine his early development as a politician, the murder of his wife's lover and entry into the service in the attempt to recover his reputation. The paper will review the effects of prior military actions he was involved in including the Peninsular Campaign, and Chancellorsville that influenced his actions at Gettysburg. Finally, the paper will examine his actions at Gettysburg, the effect on the Confederate attack, and prove the conclusion that General Sickles correctly positioned his troops and prevented a Union defeat.

Daniel Edgar Sickles portrait
No full textCarte de visite of General Daniel Edgar Sickles, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. Sickles, originally from New York City, fought at Fredericksburg and Gettysburg. He is well known for his controversial movement at Gettysburg of his III Corps to take the Peach Orchard, stretching his line thin. This allowed his corps to be smashed by Longstreet, and render it useless for the rest of the battle. Some call this a dangerous move that almost cost the battle, but others credit him with blunting the Confederate offense. During the Confederate attack, Sickles' leg was shattered by a cannon ball; he donated his leg to a medical museum, and visited it often for years afterward
Semi-nonparametric spline modifications to the Cornwell–Schmidt–Sickles estimator: an analysis of US banking productivity
No full textThis paper modifies the Cornwell, Schmidt and Sickles [CSS (J Econom 46:185–200, 1990)] time-varying specification of technical efficiency to allow for switching patterns in temporal changes, which may occur more than once during the sample period. For this purpose, we move from the (second-order) polynomial specification of the standard CSS to a spline function setup, while keeping CSS’s flexibility regarding the cross-sectional dimension. The spline function specification of the temporal pattern of technical efficiency can accommodate more than one turning point and thus can be non-monotonic. This allows the modeler to account for firm or individual efficiency gains that can occur relatively quickly, for example, changes related to regulation or policy changes, as well as those related to ownership/organization changes (e.g., merger or acquisitions)
