Uriah Galusha Pennypacker (June 1, 1841/1842/1844[1] – October 1, 1916) was a Union general during the American Civil War. He may be the youngest person to hold the rank of brigadier general in the US Army and remains the only general too young to vote for the president who appointed him.[citation needed] He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his leadership at the Second Battle of Fort Fisher during the Civil War.
