Samuel McGowan (general)
Samuel McGowan (October 19, 1819 – August 9, 1897) was a Confederate military officer from South Carolina, who fought in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. He commanded a brigade in A.P. Hill's famous "Light Division" and was wounded several times. Ezra Warner's book, ''Generals in Gray'', claims that "McGowan's career and reputation were not excelled by any other brigade commander in the Army of Northern Virginia."〔Warner, pp. 201-202〕
==Early life and education==
Born in the Laurens District of South Carolina, McGowan attended and graduated from South Carolina College in 1841, where he was a member of the Clariosophic Society.〔Morgan, p. 31〕 Subsequently, he studied law in Abbeville and was admitted to the bar. Prior to the Civil War, McGowan practiced law as partner of Thomas C. Perrin and served in state politics. He volunteered for service in the Mexican-American War and enlisted as a private in the Palmetto Regiment. He was commended for his gallantry near Mexico City, rose to the rank of captain and served as quartermaster and staff officer.〔Tucker, p. 1321〕〔Brooks, pp. 72–77〕
