Confederate General John Calvin Brown is born
Confederate General John Calvin Brown is born in Giles City, Tennessee. General Brown served in the "Army of Tennessee" during the "War Between the States", was wounded three times, and captured once.
General Brown was a prominent attorney in Pulaski, Tennessee prior to the "War Between the States". General Brown opposed secession and was an elector for the "Constitutional Union Party" during the election of 1860. The "Constitutional Union Party nominated John Bell for President and tried to steer a middle road between North and South.
When Tennessee seceded in April 1861, General Brown enlisted as a Private in the Confederate Army. General Brown's time as an enlisted man was brief however, as he was made a Colonel in the Third Tennessee within a month.
General Brown's Unit was stationed at Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River when it was captured by Union General Ulysses S. Grant in February, 1862. General Brown was a prisoner for six months. After being exchanged, he was promoted to Brigadier General and was wounded at the "Battle of Perryville" in October 1862.
General Brown recovered in time to fight at the "Battle of Stones River" two months later, but was wounded again at the "Battle of Chickamauga" in September 1863.
General Brown was back at his Post for the siege of Chattanooga in October and November 1863. General Brown served the next year with the Army through the Atlanta Campaign, and was part of Confederate General John Bell Hood's troops that invaded Tennessee that autumn.
General Brown was wounded for a third time at the "Battle of Franklin" on November 30. This battle was a disaster for the Confederate troops as five other Union Generals were wounded and six more killed during the engagement.
General Brown recovered in time to join Confederate General Joseph Johnston's surviving troops as it surrendered to Union General William T. Sherman in North Carolina at the end of the war.
After the war, General Brown served two terms as Governor of Tennessee and was a railroad President. General Brown died in 1889 at Boiling Springs, Tennessee.
