Quincy Adams Gillmore
Quincy Adams Gillmore (February 28, 1825 – April 7, 1888) was an American
civil engineer, author, and a general in the
Union Army during the
American Civil War. He was noted for his actions in the Union victory at
Fort Pulaski, where his modern rifled artillery readily pounded the fort's exterior stone walls, an action that essentially rendered stone fortifications obsolete. He earned an international reputation as an organizer of
siege operations and helped revolutionize the use of naval gunnery.
