Samuel McGowan (October 19, 1819 August 9, 1897) was a general from South Carolina in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He commanded a brigade in A.P. Hill''s famous "Light Division" and was wounded several times. Ezra Warner''s book, Generals in Gray, claims that "McGowan''s career and reputation were not excelled by any other brigade commander in the Army of Northern Virginia." At the First Battle of Bull Run, McGowan served on the staff of General Milledge Bonham. In 1862, McGowan was appointed as Colonel of the 14th South Carolina Infantry. This regiment was assigned to Maxcy Gregg''s brigade in A.P. Hill''s Light Division. After Gregg was killed in the Battle of Fredericksburg, McGowan was promoted to brigadier general (to rank from January 17, 1863) and took command of the Light Division''s South Carolina brigade. Except for when wounded, McGowan commanded this brigade for the rest of the war, surrendering with it at Appomattox Court House.
