Simon Bolivar Buckner (April 1, 1823 January 8, 1914) fought in the United States Army in the Mexican American War and in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He later served as the 30th Governor of Kentucky. After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Buckner became an instructor there. He took a hiatus from teaching to serve in the Mexican American War, participating in many of the major battles of that conflict. He resigned from the army in 1855 to manage his father-in-law''s real estate in Chicago, Illinois. He returned to his native state in 1857 and was appointed adjutant general by Governor Beriah Magoffin in 1861. In this position, he tried to enforce Kentucky''s neutrality policy in the early days of the Civil War. When the state''s neutrality was breached, Buckner accepted a commission in the Confederate Army after declining a similar commission to the Union Army.
