It is a titillating artifact of history that some believe Brig. Gen. Henry Bohlen was shot by his own troops. Though wikipedia contends that "he was well-loved" by his own troops, it may have been quite otherwise. The Bohlen connection to great wealth and perhaps objectionable influence may have been resented by the rank and file, especially in relation to Brig. Gen. Bohlen's family connection to banking intrigues during the Jackson administration: John Bohlen, Henry's older brother, was a director of the Bank of the United States (BUS). Their father, Bohl Bohlen, was of international financial stand. Bohlen descendants include Royal houses of the Netherlands and Germany.
