There's a short biography of Lewis G. De Russy here that included the following:This blog post has a photo of De Russy here.
" He was the oldest West Point graduate to serve as an officer in the Confederate Army, and he had three Confederate forts named after him. (He also had a brother and a nephew who were generals in the Union Army, and between the three of them there were five Fort DeRussys.)"
