William Henry Hulsey (October 1, 1838 – May 17, 1909) was an American attorney, soldier, and politician who served as the 18th Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia.
That unit saw no action before Hulsey left them in early 1862, when he returned home and was elected major of the newly raised 42nd Georgia Infantry on March 20.
Back in Georgia during the Atlanta Campaign, he fought from Dalton to Resaca in May 1864, where he was injured.
After his recovery, he fought in the Battle of Atlanta in July and was promoted to lieutenant colonel, the rank he held for the rest of the Civil War.
