    Uriah Galusha Pennypacker (June 1, 1841/1842/1844[1] – October 1, 1916) was a Union general during the American Civil War. He may be the youngest person to hold the rank of brigadier general in the US Army and remains the only general too young to vote for the president who appointed him.[citation needed] He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his leadership at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher during the Civil War.

    Early life

    Galusha Pennypacker was born supposedly June 1, 1844, but the year is uncertain. Census and other records indicate an earlier year of birth, perhaps 1840–41; his death record cites June 1, 1842.[1] Ages in this article are based on the 1844 date.

    He was born in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, to a family with a long history of military service.[2][3] He was raised without having any memory of his parents, Joseph Judson Pennypacker (1814–1880?) and Tamson A.
