He also served as United States Ambassador to Argentina and as United States Ambassador to Uruguay. Early lifeAsboth was born in Keszthely, Hungary.[1] When Asboth was 8, his family moved to Zombor (now Sombor in Serbia). Asboth wanted to be a soldier, like his elder brother Lajos, but instead his parents decided he should be an engineer. He studied at the Mining Academy of Selmecbánya and the Institutum Geometricum in Pest.[2] After graduation he worked on the construction of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge as a civilian engineer and later he had some part in the river regulation of the Lower-Danube. He joined with freedom-fighter Lajos Kossuth in the 1848 revolutionary movement.[2] In December 1848 he was promoted to captain.[1] During his time as captain, he took part in the battles of Kápolna and Nagysalló. On the spring of 1849 he got promoted to the rank of major, then he became an adjutant of Kossuth and achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel[3]. Asboth traveled with Kossuth to the Ottoman Empire and then to the United States in 1851, after the revolution failed.[4] United States and Civil WarAsboth remained in the United States and joined the Union. Starting in July 1861, he served as chief of staff for General John C. Frémont. Asboth originally was nominated brigadier general to rank from September 3, 1861 by President Abraham Lincoln on December 26, 1861, but the U.S. Senate confirmed the promotion on March 24, 1862 to rank from March 21, 1862 as the President did not formally make the appointment until March 22, 1862.[5] Asboth was assigned commanded of the 4th Division in Frémont's western campaign.[6] Asboth later led a division under Samuel Curtis, and during the Arkansas campaign he occupied Bentonville and Fayetteville. He participated in the Battle of Pea Ridge, leading troops at the Little Sugar Creek position.[7] His right arm was fractured by a musket ball while bringing reinforcements to support Colonel Eugene A. Carr. Reinforcements were transferred to Henry Halleck from the Army of the Southwest and during the Siege of Corinth, Asboth commanded a brigade in the Army of the Mississippi.[2] Asboth later commanded garrisons in Kentucky and Ohio. In August 1863, Asboth was assigned to the District of West Florida, with his headquarters at Fort Pickens. He was badly wounded in the Battle of Marianna on September 27, 1864; his left cheek-bone being broken and his left arm fractured in two places.[11] Asboth was mustered out of the volunteer service on August 24, 1865.[8] On January 13, 1866, President Andrew Johnson nominated Asboth for the award of the brevet grade of major general to rank from March 13, 1865 and the U.S. Senate confirmed the award on March 12, 1866.[9] Later life and deathIn 1866, he was appointed U.S. Minister to Argentina and Uruguay, and died in Buenos Aires in 1868, likely due to his wounds received in Florida.[2] He was initially buried in the city's British cemetery, but was re-buried in 1923 when the cemetery became a park. His remains were returned to the United States in October 1990 for burial at Arlington National Cemetery.[10][11] See also{{Portal|Biography|United States Army|American Civil War}}
