Re: Brig. Gen. (?) Joseph Brent

I'm sure Mr. Allardice will be around to give more details but his book states that his best proof of his being a General is his application for a General's pardon. Among those endorsing his claim were the Union governors of Louisiana, Arizona and California.

He is not listed as a Kirby Smith appointment by Warner but the OR does show him as "Acting Brigadier General" on December 31, 1864 which is the same rank as A.P. Bagby and other Smith appointments but his name isn't in the OR as a Smith appointee.
