Allen was born in the village of Woodstock and started college at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. After two years he transferred to Washington College (now Washington and Lee) in Lexington, Virginia where he graduated in 1815. He returned to the family farm and read law, was admitted to the bar and established a law practice in Woodstock.
Allen was elected to the Virginia state Senate in 1820, and served there from 1821 until 1826. In 1826 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Democratic-Republican. He would serve there for six years, winning two more elections.
At the outbreak of the Civil War, Allen was reassigned to the Department of the Missouri, where he was again chief quartermaster, as well as a colonel. Becoming recognized for his efficiency, he was soon promoted to command the supplies for the entire Mississippi Valley. From his headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky, Allen supervised the Federal supplies for all the region's major campaigns, including Vicksburg and Atlanta. He was able to secure a wide variety of surplus railcars from various Northern railroads and arranged to have them ferried across the Ohio River from Jeffersonville, Indiana, and used for military purposes to transport food and supplies to the field armies along former Confederate railways.

Robert E. Lee: A Life
Allen C. Guelzo
Since betraying his nation in a bloody fight to uphold slavery, Robert E. Lee has long been a source of fascination even beyond the racist mythology of the Lost Cause. With his deceptively genteel demeanor, Lee’s wealthy but scandal-ridden upbringing in Virginia and his long career in the U.S. Army eventually led him to a treasonous fight for slavery. Award-winning historian Allen C. Guelzo takes a hard look at Lee’s character and legacy, both of which continue to sow division in American society today.
