At the outbreak of the Civil War, Salmon enlisted in the Union army and served in the 96th New York Infantry. After the war he headed West and lived in California and Oregon. He married Abbie Hinckley and they had ten children. Late in life he was thrown from a horse and paralyzed from the waist down. He committed suicide by shooting himself in the heart.
