Guillaume Henri Dufour was a Swiss general, bridge engineer, and topographer. He served under Napoleon I and led the Swiss forces to victory against the Sonderbund. He presided over the First Geneva Convention which established the international Red Cross. He was the most famous president of the Swiss Federal Office of Topography from 1838 to 1865. The Dufourspitze (the highest mountain in Switzerland) in Monte Rosa Massif is named for him. Dufour's father Benedict was a Genevan watchmaker and farmer, who sent his son to school in Geneva, where he studied drawing and medicine. In 1807, Dufour travelled to Paris to join the Ecole Polytechnique, then a military academy. He studied descriptive geometry under Jean Nicolas Pierre Hachette, and graduated in 1809, going on to study study military engineering at the Ecole d'Application. In 1810, he was sent to help defend Corfu against the British, and spent his time mapping the island's old fortifications. By 1814, he had returned to France and was awarded the Croix de la Legion d'Honneur for his work repairing fortifications at Lyons. In 1817, he returned to Geneva to become the commander of the Canton of Geneva's military engineers, as well as professor of mathematics at the University of Geneva, his duties included preparing a map of the Canton. In 1847, now-general Guillaume-Henri Dufour led a Swiss federal army of 100,000 and defeated the Sonderbund under Johan-Ulrich von Salis-Soglio in a month-long campaign. He ordered his troops to spare the injured, anticipating the formation of the Red Cross which he presided over a few years later.
