Greetings, I am William Reynolds, a rear admiral who proudly served in the United States Navy during the American Civil War. Born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on December 10, 1815, I embarked on a naval career in 1831, starting on the Boxer and later venturing to various regions including Africa, Brazil, and the Malay Archipelago. Throughout my service, I held commands on different vessels and was honored to contribute to significant expeditions and missions.
