Journaling:
Bragg (March 22, 1817 – September 27, 1876), a native of North Carolina, was educated at West Point and
became an artillery officer. He served in Florida and then received three brevet promotions for
distinguished service in the Mexican-American War, most notably the Battle of Buena Vista. During the
Civil War, Bragg trained soldiers in the Gulf Coast region. He was a corps commander at the Battle of
Shiloh and subsequently was named to command the Army of Mississippi. My 5th great-grandfather,
Joseph Bragg (1719-1816) was his great-grandfather. Our family line branched off around the time of his
father, and he is my 2nd cousin 4 times removed.
