Captain James Augustus Rowe
He carried eleven wounds and the memory of fifty two battles, yet he returned home with the quiet strength of a man whose courage had been tested in every season of war. Captain James Augustus Rowe planted his regiment’s colors over captured cannons at Olustee, stood firm in the fiercest campaigns, and rose each time the nation demanded more of him. His legacy endures in the truth that valor is not only the fire of battle, but the steadfast spirit of a soldier who came home with honor, faith, and an unbroken resolve that defined his life.
