Strong Vincent
Strong Vincent (June 17, 1837 - July 7, 1863) was a Union military officer during the American Civil War.
Born in Waterford, Pennsylvania, Vincent attended Harvard University, where he earned his undergraduate and law degrees. However, when the Civil War broke out, he enlisted in the Army. He fought with distinction in the Army of the Potomac, and was recommended for promotion to brigadier general after the Battle of Chancellorsville. However, he was mortally wounded on July 2 at the Battle of Gettysburg, and although his promotion was received the next day, it is unlikely he ever saw it; he died on July 7. His name is inscribed at the Civil War memorials within the Harvard College campus.
