I have a small amount of information about several 19th-century French
mathematicians named Polignac, including the one associated with the
twin-prime conjecture and the one who served for a while as a Confederate
general during the American Civil War. (I am not making this up!) Can
anyone provide me with biographical information or sources about them?
