Tombstone of David Dunnels White, located in the Bozrah Cemetery, East Hawley, Massachusetts
David Dunnels White (April 14, 1844 – February 9, 1924) was an American farmer who served as a Union soldier during the American Civil War. His "single-handed capture of Confederate Major General George Washington Custis Lee" in 1865 became widely publicized in 2011 as an act that possibly ended the war early, saving many lives. His nomination for a Medal of Honor was declined by the United States Army in 2016.[1]
