Schoepf, A(lbin) F(rancisco) (1822-1886) Brigadier General. Took part in the battle of Fishing Creek; later commanded the Federal Prison at Fort Delaware. "Private McElwain had the misfortune to arrive at Fort Delaware when the prison commandant was General Albin Francisco Schoepf, known as "General Terror" by the prisoners. While the previous commandants at least attempted to treat the POWs in a humane manner and improve the conditions at the camp, General Schoepf allowed his men complete freedom to brutalize the prisoners. Schoepf never personally abused any prisoners, but his unsavory crew of subordinates took great pleasure in tormenting them. " DS, 4to, Sept. 30, 1862.
