Isaiah Brown, Civil War Veteran

A Wounded Veteran

 

You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at the grave marker for Isaiah Brown, a Veteran of the Civil War.

 

The service records for Alabama Civil War soldiers lists Isaiah Brown as serving but offers no information as to a regiment or company. The records show he was wounded during the war, but no specific battle or engagement mentioned as where he was wounded.  His service record notes that his right leg was amputated and he filed for an artificial limb.

 

Marvin Harper, a local historian, wrote an article published December 12, 1971 in the Tuscaloosa News called “Early Echola Families”. In his article he mentions Isaiah Brown as having served in the Confederate Forces. Brown’s death, so soon after the conclusion of the war, lends one to speculate that his wounds led to his death.
