Vintage portrait photo circa 1860s of General Braxton Bragg (1817 - 1876) - a leading Confederate States of America army officer in the American Civil War. Bragg served with the US Army in the Seminole Wars (against Indians in Florida) and fought in the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848) before fighting for the Confederate army during the civil war of 1861 - 1865. He was a corps commander at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862 and subsequently became commander of the Army of Mississippi (later renamed Army of Tennessee). Bragg led his troops to victory at the Battle of Chickamauga (September 1863) but was then defeated in the Battles for Chattanooga (October and November 1863) and routed by Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Missionary Ridge on November 25 1863. Bragg resigned but subsequently became military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. The Fort Bragg US Army installation in North Carolina, home of Airborne and Special Forces, is named after him. Photographer unknown.
