Soldier, Surgeon, Scholar by William Henry Corbusier
With the outbreak of the Civil War Massachusetts native, George Mitchell Brayton (1834-1911) was commissioned as a First Lieutenant. In 1863 he was promoted to Captain and was awarded a brevet for gallantry at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee. Transferred to Camp Verde in 1874, Brayton engaged in several scouts. He retired in 1892 as a Colonel and died in Washington, D.C. Altschuler, Cavalry Yellow and Infantry Blue, 42. Fanny remembered Brayton in much more personal terms. Everyone was very kind to us. Colonel Brayton came every evening to exercise and play with the boys as father always did. He was very jolly and I think enjoyed the play as much as the boys. F. Corbusier, Recollections, 42.
