陶茂林，湖南長沙人。 Tao Maolin came from Changsha in Hunan.

十一年，破賊施家山，擒其渠，及克安慶，賜號鍾勇巴圖魯。 In the eleventh year he routed rebels at Shijiashan and captured their chieftain. When Anqing was taken he was granted the title Zhongyong Baturu.

鳳翔被圍久，茂林率三千人往援，連戰解圍，擢甘肅提督。 Fengxiang had long been under siege. Maolin led three thousand men to its relief, won battle after battle until the siege was raised, and was promoted to Gansu provincial military commissioner.

粵匪出寶雞山口，擾郿縣、盩厔，茂林要擊雨門鎮、二嶺關，迭敗之。 Taiping rebels poured through Baoji Pass to raid Mei County and Zhouzhi. Maolin intercepted them at Yumen Town and Erling Pass and defeated them again and again.

茂林調後路四營來援，突圍出，退駐安定。 Maolin summoned four rear battalions to his aid, fought his way out of encirclement, and fell back to Anding.

巡撫劉蓉疏陳甘軍積弊，論茂林不職，茂林亦以兵潰自劾。 Governor Liu Rong memorialized on the deep-seated abuses of the Gansu Army and held Maolin unfit for command. Maolin likewise submitted a memorial of self-accusation over the collapse of his troops.

十年，貴州巡撫曾璧光調茂林赴黔協剿。 In the tenth year Guizhou Governor Zeng Biguang called Maolin to Guizhou to assist in the campaign.

光緒二年，收復下江、永從各城，破六峒賊巢，加頭品頂戴，晉號愛星阿巴圖魯。 In the second year of Guangxu he recovered the cities of Xialiu and Yongcong, destroyed the rebel nest at Liudong, was given a first-class cap button, and was advanced in title to Aixing'a Baturu.
