Original – John Milton Brannan was a career United States Army artillery officer who served in the Mexican–American War and the American Civil War. Most notably, he served as a division commander of the Union XIV Corps at the Battle of Chickamauga. Brannan was scandalized by the highly publicized disappearance of his first wife, Eliza Crane Brannan. Initially presumed to be suicide or murder, it was later discovered that she had secretly fled to Europe and married another United States Army artillery officer, First Lieutenant Powell Wyman.

Reason

A really nice image. At some point, I'd like to have a featured picture for everyone important in the American Civil War; practially speaking, that may never happen, but we can try. And I think there's almost extra value in not just doing the really really famous ones: I'm sure a thousand people have cleaned up an image of Grant or Lee or Sherman. But if you want a good image of Brannan? We're your best choice.
