During\n         the period of his parole, he returned to VMI as a faculty\n         member and tactical officer. Wise was in command of Cadet\n         Company A at the Battle of New Market and took command of the\n         Cadet Battalion after Scott Shipp was wounded. After the war,\n         Wise resumed his career as an educator in the Tidewater area\n         and in Baltimore, Maryland.
