Who is this person?

Strange isnt it that a very important specific event (like the start of a war) in history can vary in people's opinions ?
(... Ive been doing some research on the Irish Easter Uprising in 1916 and some witness descriptions of the same event vary significantly.)

I had intended checking when the US Civil War officially started but I was distracted (weak excuse) by other issues.

"Civil War Begins
April 12, 1861

At 4:30 a.m. on April 12, 1861, Confederate troops fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Harbor. Less than 34 hours later, Union forces surrendered. Traditionally, this event has been used to mark the beginning of the Civil War. In the Senate, however, the fall of Sumter was the latest in a series of events that culminated in war."
