Summary

Description
English: Ohio native Uriah H. Brown (1841–1927) was awarded the United States Medal of Honor for gallantry under fire during the American Civil War at the Battle of Vicksburg, Mississippi on May 22, 1863. (The medal was conferred on August 15, 1894 with the following citation: "Despite the death of his captain at his side during the assault he continued carrying his log to the defense ditch. While he was laying his log in place he was shot down and thrown into the water. Unmindful of his own wound he, despite the intense fire, dragged five of his comrades from the ditch, wherein they lay wounded, to a place of safety.")
