- Charles L. Hodges (March 13, 1847 – December 26, 1911) was a career officer in the United States Army. A Union Army veteran of the American Civil War, American Indian Wars, Spanish–American War, and Philippine–American War, Hodges remained in the army from 1861 until retiring in 1911 and attained the rank of major general. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, in 1861 Hodges left high school at age 14 and began his military career in the enlisted ranks of the Union Army's 65th New York Infantry Regiment, which he joined for the American Civil War. He took part in most of the battles fought by the Army of the Potomac, and advanced from private to sergeant major by the end of the war. Afterwards, Hodges joined the U.S. Army's 18th Infantry Regiment as a private and advanced again to sergeant major before receiving his commission as a second lieutenant of Infantry in January 1875. After obtaining his commission, Hodges served in the western United States, including postings to Texas and Dakota Territory during the American Indian Wars. He commanded a battalion during the Spanish–American War, including participation in the Battle of El Caney. After becoming a general officer in 1907, he commanded several departments during and immediately after the Philippine–American War, including the Department of the Visayas, Department of Dakota, and Department of the Lakes. He was promoted to major general in January 1911 and retired in March after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 64. Hodges died in Washington, D.C. on December 26, 1911. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. (en)
