BRANNAN, John Milton (1819-1892) Union general. He served through the Tullahoma Campaign to Chickamauga, and in the latter battle saw the fiercest combat of his life. On the morning of September 19, 1863, he was dispatched on an aggressive reconnaissance of the Confederate right, which started an intense shoving match with Confederates in his front. The afternoon of the following day found him along the last Union defense line at Horseshoe Ridge with Major General George H. Thomas, and with most of his army routed behind him. He survived the fight and went on to Chattanooga. Partly-printed Document Signed, “J.M. Brannan Brig. General U.S. Vols” November 11, 1863, being his pay document for August through October 1863, and includes his negro servants Henry, Stephanie, and James. Fine.
