Biographical History
George Crockett Strong (1832-1863), a native of Vermont, received an appointment from Massachusetts to attend the United States Military Academy, West Point, New York. Concentrating in ordnance, he graduated fifth in his 1857 class of thirty-eight cadets. Initially appointed second lieutenant, Ordnance, July 1859, Strong steadily rose through the ranks. In late 1861 he joined Benjamin F. Butler's staff as adjutant, actively took part in planning the Union expedition against New Orleans, and eventually became Butler's chief of staff. Appointed brigadier general in June 1863, Strong was reassigned to the South Carolina coast where, at the head of a brigade, he received a mortal wound at Battery Wagner. He attained the rank of major general posthumously in July 1963.
