Smith, Charles Ferguson (24 Apr. 1807-25 Apr. 1862), American soldier, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Samuel Blair Smith, an army surgeon, and Mary Ferguson.
Smith saw extensive action in the Mexican-American War, commanding battalions of light infantry under the command of both Zachary Taylor and Winfield Scott, and distinguishing himself in battle.
Once more Smith, accused of being too lenient in his treatment of secessionist civilians, fended off charges that he was less than loyal to the Union, and his superior officers, including Grant, who eventually became Smith's immediate superior, rose to his defense.

Smith bitterly complained, but Ferguson merely replied that he had borrowed not from Smith but that both he and Smith had lifted the "pin factory" illustration from the article on Epingles (pins) in the Encyclopedie of Diderot, published in 1755.
Smith, by contrast, shifts the main focus from this "mutual benefit" to an alleged and irrational and innate "propensity to truck, barter, and exchange"; human beings are like lemmings, determined by forces external to their own chosen purposes.
Smith was very much aware of the process by which interest groups seek to lobby government, and influence public policy to the benefit of their members.

 Henry Lee Smith
Charles Ferguson, who worked with Smith, once told me that he [Smith] took it for granted that every linguist he dealt with could do what he did; he once asked Ferguson to give something to "the secretary from North Dakota", assuming it would be obvious.
And a friend of mine actually was a subject of Smith's, and he got pinned down like a butterfly - Northern Alabama with an overlay of the Western Reserve of Ohio.
I don't know where he was a professor, but he was a lot more involved in public education than most linguistics professors.

 The Ultimate Charles Ferguson Smith Dog Breeds Information Guide and Reference
Charles Ferguson Smith (1807- April 25, 1862), American soldier, graduated from West Point Academy in 1825, and a few years later became an instructor there, rising eventually to be commandant.
This difficult situation was made easy by Smith's loyalty to his young chief, and the old soldier led his division of raw volunteers with success at Fort Donelson.
On the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861 he accepted a commission as brigadier-general of Union volunteers, and found himself under the command of Grant, who had been his pupil at West Point.
