• ... that James Gwyn (pictured) was awarded the rank of Brèvet Major-General by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864?

• Comment: Newly created article that was expanded, copyedited, and sourced by Mkdw and MJ94. Approximately 4,200 words and created on 11 January 2013. I suppose the date is optional in the DYK.
