1817 1876 Bragg Confederate Braxton
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and unyielding determination of General Braxton Bragg, a prominent figure in the Confederate military during the American Civil War. Born on March 22, 1817, in Warrenton, North Carolina, Bragg was a career military officer who rose through the ranks to become a major general in the United States Army before joining the Confederate States Army in 1861. Bragg's military career was marked by both triumphs and controversies. He played a key role in several important Confederate victories, including the Battle of Pensacola and the Battle of Missionary Ridge. However, his leadership style and strategic decisions were often criticized by his subordinates and opponents. Bragg's most notable controversy came during the Chickamauga Campaign, where he failed to pursue Union forces after a Confederate victory, allowing them to escape and regroup. Despite these criticisms, Bragg remained a dedicated and committed soldier. He continued to serve the Confederacy until the end of the war, surrendering with General Joseph E. Johnston's army in North Carolina in 1865. Bragg's military career came to an end following the war, and he spent the remainder of his life in relative obscurity. He died on January 6, 1876, in Galveston, Texas. This photograph, taken during Bragg's later years, captures the gravity and intensity of a man who dedicated his life to military service. Despite the controversies that surrounded his leadership, Bragg's contributions to the Confederate war effort cannot be denied. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the complexities and nuances of the American Civil War and the men who fought it.
