I've heard the names of various Americans and foreign soldiers whom might have involved themselves in the Civil War. Some died early, others determined not to volunteer:

Some I've heard before:
Garibaldi
John Brown
William Walker
Abraham (non-President) Lincoln
Jefferson (non-President) Davis
Robert (joined the Union, not the Confederacy) Lee
Lord Cardigan
Chinese Gordon
An exiled Napoleon III
Ignacio (born in Texas) Zaragosa
Santa Ana
etc.

I try to think of various wars going on around this time whom might have some soldiers seek to volunteer:
French occupation of Mexico
Crimean War
Various Prussian wars

Who else might have joined in?

Speculate away.
